Oh, that we would examine ourselves- that we would be able look at ourselves as GOD himself looks at us.
Are our hands dirty? Have we let the earth soil our hands somehow? Have we been diligent to keeping our hands clean? If our hands are getting a little soiled from time to time we need to understand why that is the case.

The Lord wants His word to be alive in us wherever we go. God's word must be precious to us and we must be feasting on it and discussing it regularly.

There are many people who don’t truly care nor have respect for God's word and the how it teaches us to live. Too often they have a cynical opinion about the way things are going in life and about the pure path instructed from the Bible.

We are living in troubled times. During times like these, people turn to God for help. Some feel like the Lord is hard to reach, that he is far off. However the apostle Paul wrote to the Christians at Roman, that we can find comfort and hope through the scriptures.

God will not give us more than we can bare when we are right in His sight.

 In Job 1:1 it says “There was a man in Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.”

For our relationships to grow in a positive direction, it is critical that we build with trust and respect. Faithfulness is also critical for without faithfulness there is no relationship. But if we want our relationship to be more fulfilling we have to go beyond faithfulness. Trust and respect gives us the liberty to learn more about each other and provides the tools needed to work through problems.

In order for us to go forward in life it takes a certain level of trust. Every part of our lives is affected to one degree or another by that trust. Trust is critical in our relationships both in and outside of our personal life.

The apostles recognized the importance of established trust and how critical it was in the work of the gospel:

The more I study out the love of God the deeper the subject goes. It is an endless study. “Who can separate us from the love of God?”
But there is one aspect of his love that God has shown me personally, whereby I experience His great love in my heart in a very real and personal way.

Have you ever wondered what it meant when the Lord said: "Cast not thy pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and rend you?". (Matthew 7:6) 

When you are seeking something you are looking for it. Not just casually, you look for it pretty hard hoping to find it.
