Even the wisest people learn little from their successes; God warns His people against allowing their victories (which He will grant) to lead them into pride and spiritual indifference. Instead, they should pay close attention to God's Word.

All believers can increase their commitment to God by reflecting on His faithfulness and by considering the forms such commitment should assume in their experience.

The wise Christian will learn from the spiritual blunders of others.

The believer who feels the agony caused by rebellion will grow to become the best intercessor.

To know God and to find one's full satisfaction in that knowledge is the ultimate goal of Christian experience. The Lord's greatest delight comes when His people discover the ultimate value lies in the knowledge of God. Nothing in the material world can complete with the delights that are present in His Person.

The agonies of those who are falsely accused are of great concern to the living God, and He acts as their defender.

Our identity as the people of God is marked primarily by our faithfulness in obedience to Him.
