“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.“ – Romans 7:15 (NIV)

or two put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock had sold them,
unless the Lord had given them up?” – Deuteronomy 32:30 (NIV)
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.“ – Matthew 18:20 (NIV)

Hold Yourself Accountable:

those who gain understanding,
¹⁴for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.” – Proverbs 3:13-14 (NIV)
