If we are to say no to covetousness, we must learn to say yes to contentment. This involves learning to be content with what we have (Hebrews 13:5). Much of our discontentment may be traced to expectations that are essentially selfish and more often than not completely unrealistic.

Withhold no part of the precious truth, but speak what you know and declare what you have seen. Do not allow the toil or darkness or possible unbelief of your friends to dissuade you. Let us rise and march to the place of duty, and there declare what great things God has shown to our soul.

It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian.

The task of the teacher of the Bible is to open up what’s closed, to make plain what is obscure, to unravel what is knotted and to unfold what is tightly packed.

As I am humbled by my difficulties, so I am strengthened by God's grace.

Father, write Your Word in our heart; make us men and women who understand Your truth.

The same Holy Spirit who implants faith within a life implants the boldness to verbalize that faith.
