By focusing on the character of God, forsaking the distractions that lead us away from God, and follow a path that leads us to be like God in our character, we can achieve tangible growth on a daily/yearly basis.

1. Making the most of our time requires us to value what time we have been given.

2. Trials rarely come in quantities or intensities that we would prefer them to.

3. Commitment to God requires a constant perspective of Him as the worthwhile destination.
