“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. ” - Psalm 68:11
When David wrote this Psalm is was 1000 BC. The Bible was only half written. It would be completed 1200 years later & printed for the first time 2500 years later. Since 1611 there have been 6 billion copies of the King James Bible. No book on any subject has ever come close to its publication. 3000 years later we stand in awe of this prophecy from the Psalms.

There’s a saying that goes “life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans…”.
How true that is! Life is a process and we are each learning as we go along. If you think you have things figured out, think again. The rules may have changed! There’s a learning curve that we may never master, but that’s OK. We have to remember that we are all “beginners” in this life.
The best that we can do is to acknowledge our errors and try to learn from them, knowing that we can always begin again tomorrow. Every change we make alters the steps that we take and also those of people around us. Make plans, but be open to the curves that can come your way each day. Cultivate an attitude that allows for the surprises that life has in store for you.
