  18. Cornerstone Career Transition Ministry Be reminded - Be Prepared If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success. (Ecclesiastes 10:10) Be Patient For in this hope we were saved, But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not have, we wait for it patiently. (Romans 8:24-25) Go in Confidence The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. (Psalm 28:7) Questions & Answers Page 18 /church_career_trans/overview_career_trans_060427.ppt Last Modified: 1/23/2007
