Preventing ..

Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down. — Proverbs 26:20

Ol' Smokey The Bear said: "Only you can prevent forest fires!" Basically, that's what the Wiseman says about gossip. We can turn down the heat, douse the fire, and let the quarrel die. How?
By not supplying juicy morsels of gossip, by ditching the urge to spread destructive innuendo, and by refusing to keep alive an ugly rumour.

Without gossip, the bitterness of a rivalry can dissolve and relationships can m
end.

Are you ready to be offered?

2 Timothy 4:6
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
Instantaneous and Insistent Sanctification

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.   Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

The Discipline of Dejection

Luke 24:21
But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done.

Knowing God

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. — proverbs 9:10

We pursue so many things, but only one pursuit brings wisdom. Paul reminded the Athenians that God made us to seek after him and find him (Acts 17). The wisdom of Proverbs keeps leading us back to "knowing God" and having a deep and reverential awe toward him as the source of wisdom. Understanding of priorities, needs, purposes, goals, problems, and issues can only occur when we first recognize who the Lord is and know him in our day to day lives.
