Good Judgment

THE EVER-PRESENT WISDOM OF GOD ENABLES ME TO THINK CLEARLY AND ACT WITH POISE.

To get along effectively in our world it is essential to use good judgment. This comes when we learn to think clearly and act with poise. Often we are not levelheaded because we are caught up in noise and confusion, and we take no time for stillness and quietness.

Set aside a few minutes each day to sit quietly. If you have a decision to make, be still and listen deep within your being to this “still, small voice.” Write down the thoughts and ideas that come to you. Later take a little time to think on these and decide what you will do about them. Think—then act.

With the many things that need our attention, we cannot afford to be wishy-washy thinkers—otherwise, we will stay busy all the time and yet get nothing done. Learn to use the very fountainhead of wisdom within you. In quietness turn to it, receive your guidance, and act.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6)

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
