1 Samuel 16:7 King James Version
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
“Be a light unto the world, and hurt it not. Seek to build not destroy. Bring My people home.
How?
By your shining example. Seek only Godliness. Speak only in truthfulness. Act only in love.
Live the Law of Love now and forever more. Give everything require nothing.
Avoid the mundane.
Do not accept the unacceptable.
Teach all who seek to learn of Me.
Make every moment of your life an outpouring of love.
Use every moment to think the highest thought, say the highest word, do the highest deed. In this, glorify your Holy Self, and thus too, glorify Me.”

2 Peter 3:9 King James Version
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
“God’s will is that none should perish. Judgement isn’t His desire…but His necessity. The good must bring evil to an end, or else it would cease to be good. And yet His mercy is still greater than His judgement. His heart always wills for redemption. And therein lies the hope.”

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
“Develop some intellectual curiosity. If you have it, you will never be bored. If you haven’t, cultivate it, hold fast to it. Never let it go. To the intellectually curious, the world will always be full of magic, full of wonder. You will be interesting to your friends, to your spouse, and a joy to your children. You will be alive to all the wonderful possibilities of this world.”

Ephesians 2:8 King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Psalm 46:1-2 King James Version
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
“The season of the world before us will be like no other in the history of mankind. Satan has unleashed every evil, every scheme, every blatant, vile perversion ever known to man in any generation. Just as this is the dispensation of the fullness of times, so it is also the dispensation of the fullness of evil. We and our wives and husbands, our children, and our members must find safety. There is no safety in the world: wealth cannot provide it, enforcement agencies cannot assure it, membership in this Church alone cannot bring it.
As the evil night darkens upon this generation, we must come to the temple for light and safety. In our temples we find quiet, sacred havens where the storm cannot penetrate to us. There are hosts of unseen sentinels watching over and guarding our temples. Angels attend every door. As it was in the days of Elisha, so it will be for us: “Those that be with us are more than they that be against us.”

Mark 11:22 King James Version
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
There may be no better place to start when looking at examples of biblical prayer warriors than King David. He was a warrior at heart — and not just in the sense of the physical battlefield. Called “a man after God’s own heart” in Acts 13:22, David greeted almost every situation he encountered with prayer in lieu of haste decisions and instinctual responses. David used prayer as his greatest tool to achieve multiple ends:
David understood the power of prayer and that it’s the best way of communicating with God and a constant reminder that He is in control. From David’s example, you can see that God’s wisdom is needed in every facet of your life and learn how to come before His throne in prayer on all occasions.

Jeremiah 10:12 King James Version
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
WHOEVER you are, I fear you are walking the walks of dreams,
I fear these supposed realities are to melt from under your feet and hands;
Even now, your features, joys, speech, house, trade, manners, troubles, follies, costume, crimes, dissipate away from you,
Your true Soul and Body appear before me,
They stand forth out of affairs—out of commerce, shops, law, science, work, forms, clothes, the house, medicine, print, buying, selling, eating, drinking, suffering, dying.
Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you, that you be my poem;
I whisper with my lips close to your ear,
I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.
― Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900. To You

John 16:20 King James Version
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims
Charles Spurgeon once said that “The road to sorrow has been well trodden, it is the regular sheep track to heaven, and all the flock of God have had to pass along it.”1 How is it that we get through the most difficult and painful of times and circumstances? What do we do in those moments and in those times that we don’t know what to do or we don’t know what to pray?
How do we get through these difficult and painful times? Where do we find hope, how do we find hope, and where do we turn to? In the midst of sorrow, in the midst of pain, we find help, comfort, and peace in the Lord Jesus Christ.
As Jesus was about to leave the disciples and go back to His Father, the disciples experienced great pain, sorrow, and loss. Jesus comforted His disciples by telling them He will turn their sorrow into joy. As Jesus was leaving the upper room with His disciples and heading toward the Garden of Gethsemane, He spoke these words, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy” (John 16:20).
Jesus told the disciples that they will weep and lament and grieve but their sorrow will turn into joy (John 16:20). The cross would cause there to be pain and sorrow and sadness for the disciples, but that very same event would be the cause of their rejoicing. It’s the cross of Christ that turns our sorrow into joy.
