…Psalm 81:12-14 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways, how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!…

A worker who does not need to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth shares with the one that has knocked and knocked asking that it (TRUTH) be opened unto them!

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” To Adam he said, The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him. “So the last will be first, and the first will be last and whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.” So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!” The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Then the man in linen with the writing kit at his side brought back word, saying, “I have done as you commanded. Because you listened to your wife the heart is deceitful above all things, and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it and desperately sick; who can understand it? I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, whoever strays from the path of instruction comes to rest in the company of the dead and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. But “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.” Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
