The real delight of hearing God is tempered with shame in having been so long in hearing Him.

From Exodus 20:18-20:  “When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, they were afraid and trembled and stood at a distance, and said to Moses, ‘You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, or we will die.’  Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid; for God has come only to test you and to put the fear of Him upon you so that you do not sin.'”

Contentment should be the hallmark of my life, as I put my affairs in the hands of God.

From 1 Timothy 6:6-8:  “Of course, there is great gain in godliness combined with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, so that we can take nothing out of it; but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.”

The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.

From 1 Corinthians 3:1-3:  “And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.  I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food.  Even now you are still not ready, for you are still of the flesh.  For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations?”

Nothing is clearer than that prayer has its only worth and significance in the great fact that God hears and answers prayer.

From 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:  “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Believers who are growing toward maturity share in mutual feelings–mutual woes and mutual joys.  This is one of the best benefits of being part of the body of Christ and a major reason why we need to be involved in a local church.

From Romans 12:15:  “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”

If you want to be respected for your actions, then your behavior must be above reproach.

From 1 John 2:3-6:  “Now by this we may be sure that we know Him, if we obey His commandments.  Whoever says, ‘I have come to know Him,’ but does not obey His commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; but whoever obeys His word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection.  By this we may be sure that we are in Him:  whoever says, ‘I abide in Him,’ ought to walk just as He walked.”

It is the secret of true discipleship to bear the cross, to acknowledge the death sentence that has been passed on self, and to deny any right that self has to rule over us.

From Luke 9:23:  “Then He [Jesus] said to them all, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.'”
