God has told us what is good and what is right. We should do those things and show love to on another. Not being judgmental and moving without seeking God's will.

But if God is your pleasure then you may see more of God in your life because he is your pleasure. You will see more love, peace, joy and humility. You will see more of God’s character in your life because that is what you are after. More of God and less of you will be evident in your life. You will love to serve others more than yourself for God is your pleasure.

Fighting my selfish ambition will need me to control my selfish desires. This will imply discipline in my life. The impact of if I am disciplined or not will be reflected in my speech, my tongue. If I can not control my tongue I am lacking discipline. Being ambitious in this world is applauded in some circles. However in this text to be ambitious in this text is not the case. Ambition is defined as one who is self-seeking for a political office by unfair means. This word "ambition" is used as a human vice and not as a virtue in the Bible. For that reason we see Paul instruct in Philippians 2:3, “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;” (Phil 2:3 NAS95). This instruction is good to follow today as it was then.

God moves in our life to bring a change for the better. God moves in our life show us his love, power and mercy.

Living Faith is faith that is practiced daily showing the love of God to all we meet and and walking out what we believe. This faith in practice makes perfect.

What makes the Great, Great is Submission, Sacrifice and Service. You must serve to be great and serving involves sacrifice and submission to serve others above yourself.

Do not lose focus of the main thing, the message hat is the gospel of the kingdom that requires submission of the Spirit to do the mission of delivering the message. The message us the gospel of the kingdom.

Humble faith to The Lord is looking to serve with Love to all we meet. This faithful service shows our love to our God. This love will also remove pride and preferential treatment as society does. This love will move us too keep all of God's precepts and not the ones we choose.

God desires for us to know him and his word and then we will know him and ourselves better

The Lord with you is how you make it through whatever you may go through.

God will reward those who endure testing, resist temptation and trust in him. The reward will be a crown of life in eternity.

In Christ, the poor become exalted and the rich become humble. Both status are set in The Lord who loves us unconditionally. Find joy in your position in Christ and not in your position in the world.

Seek God for he will bless generously his faithful children who come to him in faith.

Be complete by having endurance during various trials of your faith knowing that it will make you stronger as you trust in the Lord.

Focusing on the good and leaving alone the bad helps bring unity and togetherness in ones life an in the body of Christ.

“Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.” (2 Cor 7:1 NLT-SE)

God calls Israel to holiness and reminds him that he will be with him. This shows us that God is faithful and able to help us in times of trouble and lead us to a place of his blessing.

All that we have belongs to the Lord. Therefore we should be glad to give back to the Lord what is his and be a blessing to others.

Sin unaddressed will put you on the spot. What is stopping your from moving forward to what God has for you? Whatever it is God can bring you through.

There are certain issues in our life that can only be solved by God. God will get you in the right spot to work it out for you according to his awesome will.
