Every time you strap yourself into a jet airliner there is one thing you can be sure of. The pilots take the time to keep current on their emergency procedures. They know them like the back of their hands. If an engine fails on take-off, their eyes know immediately which gauges to focus on, instinctively their fingers start flipping switches, their hands and feet adjust the controls. These are things they habitually review when the engines are humming and everything is running tickeddy boo.
Wise pilots are always prepared and ready for emergencies.
Wise people learn the skills of self-encouragement in life's green pastures when the suns shining. It's difficult to learn emotional survival skills in the heat of life's pressure cookers. Learn the skills of self-encouragement because . . . Your Future is influenced by the encouragement you find today. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
