2.Endure Suffering....

2 Timothy 2:3.. Thou therefore endure hardness, asa good soldier of Jesus Christ:

3. Stay alert....

Ephesians 6:18.. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

4. Watch out for attacks from devil....

1 Peter 5:8... Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking who he may devour

5. Nothing can separate us from Christ

....Romans 8 38,39... For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

 

Wisdom for Life

A good reputation is more valuable

than costly perfume..

and the day you die is better than the day

you are born.

Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties...

after all, everyone dies-

so the living should take this to heart

Sorry is better than laughter

for sadness has a refining influence on us...

A wise person thinks a lot about death,

while a fool thinks only about having a good time...

Better to be criticized by a wise person...

than to be praised by a fool.

A fool's laughter is quickly gone,

like thorns crackling in a fire

This is also meaningless

Extortion turns wise people into fools...

and bribes corrupt the heart.

Finishing is better than starting

Patience is better than pride

Control your temper...

for anger labels you a fool.

Don't long for "the good old days"

This is not wise

Wisdom is even better when you have money

both are a benefit as you go through life

Wisdom and money can get you almost anything

but only wisdom can save your life

Accept the way God does things,

for who can straighten what he has made crooked?

Enjoy prosperity while you can,

but when hard times strike...

realize that both come from God

Remember that nothing is certain in this life

Ecclesiastes 7:1-14
