Meditations on "Wisdom"

When we are faced with a recurring problem, we often just want it to be over and done with.

In Proverbs, one of the books in the Bible, wisdom is described in the words of a person speaking.

The desire to express our love for God and our neighbour should be the motivation behind what we do each day and how we work through our agenda.

When we live in depression our number-one enemy is our emotions.

Some significant events in our life have destroyed our sense of value and punctured holes in our self-esteem.

Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the 12-Step movement founded by Alcoholics Anonymous is the emphasis on ordinary people – even broken and pretty much washed-up folks.

An important part of living with God in recovery is coming to an accurate view of what went wrong in our relationships and doing our part to make things right.

Wealth is often seen as the source of contentment and happiness.

The way we think has the most powerful impact on how we face each day.

God invites us to a relationship with Him, so we can know His principles for living right, and then set healthy boundaries in our relationships with others.

We lived for so long doing what was right in our own eyes that we may have doubts about being able to live according to God’s principles that we are learning about.
