Wisdom comes from a gracious, kind, patient, loving Father. And wisdom comes to children who seek for it as though they are seeking for hidden treasure.

The most fundamental issue in everybody’s life is this: will you run your own life or will you turn to God and his wisdom?

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Jesus Christ is our glorious Substitute and Shepherd. And when we know him as our Substitute and Shepherd, it brings the deep healing our souls need.

The promise of those who are on the road of sanctification is that they will be useful and fruitful in Christ, which ultimately leads to a rich assurance and prepares us to enter Christ's eternal Kingdom. So how should the Christian live? With diligence, making every effort to grow in Christlikeness.

Because of all that God has done for us and given to us in Christ, Christians are to make every effort to grow.
