Summary: When those who claim to be the followers of God deliberately play loose with the truth or unethically manipulate the facts to their own advantage, the signal the rest of the world picks up is that God can't be trusted—because if God’s own children don't tell the truth, what does that say about their Heavenly Father?

Verse: "A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape."

Summary: Instead of looking at God’s overarching plan for the world, we tend to focus on what God does for us. The key is to trust that while God is enacting His plan to save the world, He's not going to leave you behind. In the end, you will be part of a finished work, and because you were patient, a lot of people are going to be there with you.

Verse: "I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath. He has led me and made me walk in darkness and not in light."

Summary: The Bible tells us not to assume that we belong in higher circles of life, because it's better to be invited up than to be sent back down.

Verse: "Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of the great; for it is better that he say to you, 'Come up here,' than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen."
—Proverbs 25:6, 7
