Therefore, if there is anything that you and I are supposed to be doing as Christ’s ambassadors and we are not, may we arise and do it. John 14:12-14.

As we grow in our walk with Jehovah, may who He is and who we are in Him become increasingly clearer. And as this happens, may our gratitude also increase. Isaiah 26:1-19.

Our genuine worship and adoration pleases the Lord. Our sincerity as we acknowledge Him is important. Our utmost joy in who He is, what He has done and who we are in Him shows that we appreciate Him. Using our skill to bring Him honour shows we revere Him. Psalm 147:1-20.

May we nor forget how blessed we are to have Jehovah as our God. May we never take it for granted. Even in difficult times, a child of God has reason to be hopeful that God is watching over him/her. Psalm 112:1-10.

God can also do what He did to Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, in order to keep him humble. Paul had the discipline to accept his lot and trust God. May we remain humble and may we depend on God to do it. On our own it is impossible.

Hebrews 12:4-11 describes the other aspect of discipline, namely correction. The Heavenly Father corrects His children because He loves them. Our earthly fathers do likewise. May we accept correction from Him and learn what He wants to teach us. May we submit to Him so that it may be well with us and we may be righteous and have peace.

One aspect of discipline is self control as described in 1 Corinthians 9:27. It entails “beating the body” into submission” to avoid something that would harm it or denying oneself something that could derail one’s focus. God’s grace is available to us to help us exercise self control.

The Creator of the universe is concerned about you and me. The great physician, the Lord our banner, our provider, the omniscient and omnipotent God, Elohim the majestic God, is concerned about us. He has a plan and has a part for each of us to play. It is His plan, not ours. Would we be willing to indulge Him, to trust Him, to allow Him to have His way? Ezekiel 37:1-14.

The Lord is not looking for the perfect, He is looking for the willing. The calling of the disciples in Matthew 4:18-22 and the beatitudes in 5:3-11 show that. As we walk with Him, He works on us.

David’s words in 1 Chronicles 22:2-19 show an old man who valued the Lord and who had seen the love of God throughout his life. The many psalms attributed to him show his faith in the great Jehovah. We are fortunate to be called by His name.
