Life doesn’t always cooperate.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t control life.

What’s one thing I know I need to do (or say), but I’ve been putting it off?

Life is unpredictable.

We want to know what God wants us to do.

We want to know why God doesn’t intervene.

We want to grow spiritually, but aren’t sure how.

What’s God saying to me?

Is it consistent with his word?

What am I going to do with it…and when?

Knowledge is what we know.

Wisdom is what we do with what we know.

“Fear in the biblical sense includes being afraid of someone, but it extends to holding someone in awe, being controlled or mastered by people, worshipping other people, putting your trust in people, or needing people. The fear of man can be summarized this way: We replace God with people. Instead of a biblically guided fear of the Lord, we fear others. When we are in our teens, it is called ‘peer pressure’. When we are older, it is called ‘people-pleasing’. Recently, it has been called ‘codependency’.”
