Consider
1. Are you reverent?
- Living solely for the approval of God means you are unconcerned with the expectations of others.
- You will see God one day; you best live aware that He sees you now.
2. Are you obedient?
- You haven’t proven that God’s Word is your guide until you are eager to obey it.
- Your success is determined by who you allow to guide and assist you.
