“Who ever we are, what ever is our race or religion or station in life, things happen to us most often that does not make sense. We might try to reason it out, pray, fast, seek counsel or talk it over with a friend, elder or associate and sometimes, the situation persists” He stated.
Sometimes, it’s not for lack of effort but because certain things are beyond our scope of understanding or reasoning.
This life is full of mysteries far beyond our human minds. We live in a world that is billions of years old and sometimes we, young as we are, need more than the wisdom of Solomon to find our way”.

Pick one page a day, read through and ask God to open your mind to understand the words and hidden meanings and how you can apply it.God will reach out to you in a new way as you read this little book and your life will be much better than when you picked it up.
