When You Need Wisdom

-

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you.
He will not rebuke you for asking.
But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.
 Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea
that is blown and tossed by the wind.
 (James 1:5-6 NLT)


Father, give me wisdom as I begin this new day.
 Help me to use my time,the time You have allotted me, wisely, not wastefully.

Father, give me wisdom as I write these words.
Please put words into my mind and allow them to flow into thoughts
that are good news to the poor, that announce pardon to the imprisoned,
recovery of sight to the blind, words that set the burdened and battered free,
and words that announce, "This is God’s year to act!" (Luke 4:18-19 MSG).

Father, give me wisdom so that when I speak I will say things that are
pure and clean and words that help and give life to those who listen.

Father, give me wisdom to lead my family in ways that help them walk closer to You.
Give me wisdom to be the husband that honors my wife
and allows her to be respectful of me. 
Give me wisdom to be the father that understands my children
and helps to give them the confidence they need to fulfill the dreams
You have placed in their hearts.
Give me wisdom to love my daughter-in-law
so she can have peace in her heart as a wife and a mother.
Give me wisdom to love and protect my granddaughter
so that she will grow strong and feel Your presence every day of her life.
Give me wisdom to share the wisdom You give me with these special
people so that they can be the people You want them to be.

Father, give me wisdom to counsel people who come to me for help.
Give me the wisdom to know when to speak and when to be silent,
when to be bold and when to be gentle, when to instruct and when to listen.

Father, give me the wisdom to know when to be angry,
when to be sad, when to laugh, and when to cry. 
Give me the wisdom to know that forgiveness is always the right move.
Give me the wisdom to always accept Your forgiveness
and to realize I am worthless without it.
Give me wisdom to depend on You as if my life depended on it,
and the wisdom to realize that it does.

Father, give me wisdom to lead others in their walk with You.
Give me the wisdom to preach and teach in ways that illustrate
Your great and amazing love for us, and the wisdom to help others understand
the living sacrifice that is appropriate and brings You pleasure.
Give me the wisdom to live the words that I proclaim.

Father, give me wisdom to realize that when I ask for wisdom with confidence You will give it.
And that unless I receive wisdom that comes from You I have no words worth hearing,
no life worth imitating, and no wisdom worth sharing.

Father, there is no wondering "if" I need wisdom. I need wisdom.
I need YOUR wisdom. Father, please give me wisdom.

A Mirror or a 2-Way Glass?

How can you tell when you are in a room, restroom, motel etc. with a mirror or a 2-way glass? Here's how: I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30 seconds you're going to do what I did and find the nearest mirror. Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not? A policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for businesswomen passed this on. When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e. they can see you, but you can't see them)? There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?

Are you an Angel?

This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice Physician:  I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5 pm, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke,sputter and die - I barely managed to coast into a gas station, glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck It wouldn't even turn over.   Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the 'quickie mart' building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice and fell into a Gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay.   When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel.   At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids i...
