Have
you wondered how children growing up in the same home can turn out so
differently? Even when troubled families expose children to chaos and violence, some manage to sidestep the dysfunction
to establish successful lives. They have unique insight on how to avoid
enmeshments that leave others in a state of hopelessness.
Gaining insight is a lifetime endeavor
and becomes a lifeline for every stage of life. A man described how his eighty-year-old
father had keen insight for managing the issues and stress of aging. Insight enables
a person to withstand the turbulence and unpredictability of life. Insight builds
competence for asking difficult questions and accepting hard answers.
One important insight is knowing God
gives us peace when the stressors of life could be overwhelming. Proverbs
points out the way. "Follow the steps of the godly and stay on the right
path, for only the righteous enjoy life to the fullest." So search for godly
role models and remember, Jesus challenges us to come and learn from him.
