I remember thinking “Lord, to whom shall I go?” I had to make choices. I had to take steps.

Seek good sense and you love your soul. ... Keep understanding and you discover good.

Solitude leads you to run to the strong tower. Solitude leads you to run to the name of the Lord.

Loss is like a crucible. Loss is like a furnace. If silver and gold are not immune from the crucible and the furnace, your heart will be tested.

Making plans is not wrong, but we need to recognize that we can only plan. The Lord established the actual steps.

In the rearview mirror of my journey, I recommend finding many advisers.

Here steadfast love and faithfulness are met by those who devise good. This is a wonderful promise. Devise good and meet love and faithfulness.

God designed families as a training ground for the next generation. A wise son hears—receives, embraces, and acts upon—the instruction delivered to him by his father.

Loss is a time to recognize your serious injury and to turn to wisdom and wise counsel.

Choose humility. Choose wise counselors. Choose the good that comes from righteousness. Then, even in loss, you will flourish like a green leaf.
