In the Greek our word WISE takes on a very different meaning.  It's so much more than experience or good judgement....it means skilled, cultivated or learned.  Those forming the best plans and using the best means for their execution.

Are you taking time these days to form plans?  If so, are you considering the best means to make them happen?

The job of superintending or taking care of someone or something.

How well are you superintending your life and resources?  You cannot lead someone where you have not been yourself.

Take care of yourself....so that you may care for others.

To act or do something in the same way over time...unchanging in nature.

Consistency doesn't just happen.  It's very deliberate...and happens over time.  It doesn't just show up....it must be developed.

In the Greek, walk means:  to make ones way, to progress, to make use of opportunities.  In Hebrew it means live.

So how are you walking?  Just moving your feet up and down...or are you making the best use of opportunities in your life now?

A calendar is a chart or series of pages that include times, days, weeks and months of a particular year.  Very different from a "To Do" list.

When you place something on a calendar, you now have a time, date and deadline.

Success requires a deadline...What gets scheduled gets done...It's never to late to get better at something.

Resolution cuts two ways.....Whether we choose TO do something or NOT to do something...it takes the same strength, courage and determination to make it happen.

Resolve today to DO!  Look at your list....pick the big thing....tackle it....check it off......Get it done!!!!!!

Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth or strength or someone or something.  Our world today is looking for someone or something to wholly trust in.

Take a look at John Chapter 14...this is where I find my trust.

What type of listener are you?

Passive, or aware something is being said, but not focused.

Active, listening, but at the same time forming a response.

Deep, listening with your whole face, taking time to hear, see and reflect before saying anything.

Today, we could all use a deep listener in our lives.

Did you know that anger, if dealt with properly can be a good thing.  

Three things we need to know about anger...acknowledge it...deal with it.....and/or let it go.

Courage is not the absence of fear...it the choice to move forward, even in the face of what may be scaring you to death.

It's stated that Scripture says 365 times....Fear Not!  Sounds like courage is a big deal to God.  And if God is for us....who can be against us!
