Patience is the guardian of faith, the preserver of peace, the cherisher of love, the teacher of humility; Patience governs the flesh, strengthens the spirit, sweetens the temper, stifles anger, extinguishes envy, subdues pride; she bridles the tongue, refrains the hand, tramples upon temptations, endures persecutions, consummates martyrdom: Patience produces unity in the church, loyalty in the State, harmony in families and societies; she comforts the poor and moderates the rich; she makes us humble in prosperity, cheerful in adversity, unmoved by calumny and reproach; she teaches us to forgive those who have injured us, and to be the first in asking forgiveness of those whom we have injured; she delights the faithful, and invites the unbelieving; she adorns the woman, and approves the man; Is loved in a child, praised in a young man, admired in an old man; she is beautiful in either sex and every age.

George Horne

Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

Proverbs 20:1
The New International Version

If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things.  It is we, of course, to whom things look “little” or “big.”

Elisabeth Elliot
