Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
— Proverbs 8:10
King James Version of the Bible
“Providential Guideposts”
Choices
We Make … p. 64
We are, each of us, blessed with the power of reason and its natural concomitant, will power: Through reason we make choices for good or ill as they affect our life. And, in accordance with our will, we act on them.
The choices we make as they relate to our day-to-day activities and our physical well-being are apparent to all, a manifestation of outward appearances all too often belying the truth. Be that as it may, attendance to worldly matters pales beside the need to acknowledge and to come to terms with our own oft-neglected spirituality.
If ever we are to know peace within, to be certain of the path we walk, we must consciously quiet the turmoil of the mind to allow the soul to emerge and play its proper role in our life. This involves no less than a choice to be made in accordance with rational thought, while at once exercising our will to act on it. Thus may we come into the presence of God such that our spiritual awareness manifests His Goodness; hence, our overall well-being.
