and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD
thy God for the good land which he hath given
thee.

• Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory
of God; and the firmament shows his
handiwork.
• Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made every thing
beautiful in its time: also he has put eternity in
men's hearts, so that no man can find out the
work that God does from the beginning to the
end.

COMMIT
• Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of them who
draw back unto perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul.
• Hebrews 12:1 Therefore seeing we also are
surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which
does so easily ensnare us, and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us,

5. Stay committed

opportunity but lack of commitment!

trust in him: but I will defend my own ways
before him.

6. Stay Positive

the wicked: and that the righteous should be
as the wicked, that be far from you: Shall not

mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

precept, precept upon precept; line upon line,
line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.

• Ruth 1:16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to
leave you, or to return from following after
