“And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright – – words of truth. The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. And further, my son, by admonished by these….” (Ecclesiastes 12:9-12a)
Over the years, I have collected some sayings and writings that gave me much to think about. I trust these will be helpful to you, as they have been to me. Here are a few of them:
“Whatever one sows, he will reap (and sometimes, with interest). No one is exempt! Perhaps not today, but then, there’s tomorrow!” (Based on Galatians 6:7).
“The harvest is not determined by the reaping you do today, but by the seed you planted yesterday.” (Seen in a local post-office In March of 2021).
“Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small; though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.” (From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow).
“The triune God is ‘the ways and means committee’ – – He has ways and He has means!”
“The trend of ‘spiritual’ gravity: 1. SPIRITUALITY; 2. Followed by STAGNANCY; 3. Then, SECULARIZATION; 4. And, finally, the SUBVERSION of Truth.”
“Stand up for what is right, even if you’re standing alone.” (From a poster hanging in my office).
“To dwell above with ‘saints’ we love; oh, that will be glory. But to dwell below with ‘saints’ we know; well, that’s another story!”
“I consciously and deliberately choose to trust in God’s sovereign providence, no matter what!” Tell Him, that by His enablement, you will!
