Con't, yesterday's word; I'VE GOT TO DO BETTER! You have to prove some things. That's why David said; 1 Samuel 17:39; And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it.

It has to cost you some things; 2 Samuel 24:24; And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. Philippians 3:8; Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, v9; And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
