If you treat others, namely those beneath you in some capacity, with respect, trust, confidence, and responsibility seemingly greater than they are, they will often assume the role or more easily assume greater self worth and responsibility.

- The Lord (to me)

(The adverse is also true as well.)

When you're following the commandments of the Lord, doing all you can, and things start getting hard or things start going into disarray, don't start doubting the Lord's promises to you.

These troubles and challenges are literally given to you by the Lord just to test your patience.

There is almost ALWAYS a hurdle or two before the finish line. Endure it well and the Lord will bless you.
