Perspective

Size does not determine significance, look at the ear, how big is the stapes and anvil, yet they allow you to hear.

Doing His will/Our works/Our words

James 1:22-27 22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.  23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;  24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. 26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless.  27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Temptation

Heb. 4:14-16 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Discipline/Children

Pro 22: 15   15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline will remove it far from him.

Counsel/Our words

Pro 20: 5 A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, but a man of understanding draws it out.

Our works

John 6:28-29  28 Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”
