Reflections
The Bible is a font of wisdom and guidance for real life lived to the fullest. These sections give a flavour of the jewels to be unearthed.

"The man who finds life will find it through trusting God." Romans 1:17

For the reverence and fear of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding.  Proverbs 9:10

Jesus told her, "I am the one who raises the dead and gives them life again. Anyone who believes in me, even though he dies like anyone else, shall live again.  John 11:25

So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting witches and mediums? Don't listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God? "Check these witches' words against the Word of God!" he says. "If their messages are different than mine, it is because I have not sent them; for they have no light or truth in them.  Isaiah 8:19-20

You are the world's seasoning, to make it tolerable. If you lose your flavour, what will happen to the world? And you yourselves will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the world's light--a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.  Matthew 5:14-15

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you. Romans 12:2

Lord, as you carry me through life, so you will carry me into death. that in death you don't put me down, but merely change your grip so that you hold me closer to yourself.
