Do not be a sluggard. Do not be lazy. Do not set yourself up as wise in your own eyes and ignore the ways of God.

Words fitly spoken are refreshing. And there’s nothing more refreshing than gospel hope.

Before loss, during loss, after loss you should establish your house with understanding. You should fill every room with the precious and pleasant promises given to you by God in these pages.

Instead, incline your ear to wise words of knowledge. Instead of anger, you will experience pleasant trust.

Do not trust your own eyes, especially in the depths of loss. Left to your own thinking will blind you with your haughty eyes that look outward from your proud heart.

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.
