Be strong all ye people of the Lord, and work, for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts.

Root and Remedy

We do not take into account the true reality of (hu)man(ity). Man is not only body but spirit also. He is not only earthly and temporal but heavenly and eternal (p. 82)

Form a correct appreciation of what is lasting and eternal as superior to what is temporal and passing. Set the total good of your being above the partial good of your body alone. (p. 84)

Deliberation | Decision | Action | Rest

Decision introduces a great force into consciousness which carries it naturally onward toward act.
If you can perform the act immediately, then this force is discharged without a new intervention of consciousness.

Peace of Heart, Narcisco Irala, 2019

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time…

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

As long as you are convinced that your salvation and feelings are unique, you will resist the best question ever.

And so long as you deceive yourself into thinking that you are the first to feel what you are feeling, you will chase the feelings to the neglect of wisdom.

Solomon ‘There is nothing new under the sun’

pp. 110-111, Andy Stanley, The Best Question Ever (is it the wise thing to do?)

What we cannot express

My tears are prayers that reach to God when I cannot speak.
