o He who heeds instruction and correction is [not only himself] in the way of

toward ruin for others.
Philippians 2:19-22 AMPC
19 But I hope and trust in the Lord Jesus soon to send Timothy to you, so that I may also
be encouraged and cheered by learning news of you.
20 For I have no one like him [no one of so kindred a spirit] who will be so genuinely
interested in your welfare and devoted to your interests.
21 For the others all seek [to advance] their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ (the
Messiah).
22 But Timothy’s tested worth you know, how as a son with his father he has toiled with
me zealously in [serving and helping to advance] the good news (the Gospel).
John 5:19 / 30
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do
nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also
does in like manner.

do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
JOSHUA 1:1-7 NKJV
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke
to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: 2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now
therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am
giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread
upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as
far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great
Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able
to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I
will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people
you shall [ a ] divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give
them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all
the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may [ b ] prosper wherever you go.
2 CHRONICLES 34:1-7 NKJV
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in
Jerusalem. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways
of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God
of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of
the [ a ] high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded
images. 4 They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense
altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved
images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and
scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. 5 He also burned the
bones of the priests on their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 6 And so he
did in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali and all around,
with [ b ] axes. 7 When he had broken down the altars and the wooden images, had beaten
the carved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the
land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
2 TIMOTHY 4:11 NKJV - Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is
useful to me for ministry.
JOHN 21:15-17 NKJV –
Jesus Restores Peter
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of [ a ] Jonah,
do you love Me more than these?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [ b ] love You.”
He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of [ c ] Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [ d ] love You.”
He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of [ e ] Jonah, do you [ f ] love Me?” Peter was
grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep."
