Gratitude (2 Samuel 7:18)

Relate with God by Seeking Him Daily (Psalms 63:1)

Obey his commands (1 Samuel 13:14)

Worship (Psalms 149:3; Psalms 34:3)

Trust in Him (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Humble Yourself (1 Peter 5:6)

- Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time

- No matter the blessing that God has given you, there are still more people blessed than you

- Whatever blessing that is given to you is for God's glory

- The easiest way to lose everything is pride
