A lot of wisdom can often be conveyed in a few words. Here are some examples from the book More Roadside Church Signs Across America by Mary and David Compton:

▪ Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.

▪ If you feel far away from God, who moved?

▪ Swallowing your pride seldom leads to indigestion.

▪ Is God your steering wheel or your spare tire?

▪ The best exercise is stooping down and lifting up another.

▪ Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

▪ Good example has twice the value of good advice.

▪ Keep your words sweet; you may have to eat them.

▪ Instead of pointing a finger, hold out a hand.

▪ We are overdressed when wrapped up in ourselves.

▪ Don’t expect a thousand-dollar answer to a ten-cent prayer.

▪ If you find yourself with time on your hands, put ’em together and pray.

▪ Carve praise in stone; write criticism in sand.

▪ A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.

I have put my hope in the Everlasting. (Baruch 4:22)

Increase my ability to see and live by Your wisdom, Jesus.
