| Short Meditations — Part 1 |
| God sends no one away empty, except those who are full of themselves. “A contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise” (Psalm 51:17). |
| It is better to be faithful than famous. “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” (Revelation 2:10). |
| Slander (defamation or false charges) seeks to destroy, but rebuke seeks to restore. “He that uttereth a slander is a fool” (Proverbs 10:18). |
| After all is said and done, more is usually said than done. “Be ye does of the Word, and not hearers only” (James 1:22). |
| Sin is anything inconsistent with God’s thoughts and character. “Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity” (Habakkuk 1:13). |
