Some believers tend to forget God's persistent faithfulness in the face of the spectacular and showy.

Although spiritual growth puts our wills to the test, after the battle has been won, we recognize that the Lord is the true victor in the struggle.

Intimacy with God is to be preferred above material wealth.

No amount of human willfulness can overcome God's determined love.

Since all wealth ultimately comes from God, His people ought to acknowledge His primacy by offering Him the best of their wealth, time, and abilities.

Every demonstration of God's faithfulness to us is an opportunity for us to testify of Him to others.

If Israel is to please the Lord fully, they will live lives that are as distinctive among the nations as their Lord is different from pagan deities.
