“Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. — Matthew 7:1 (AMP) May we not criticize each other, nor compare ourselves with others, nor compete against them. We are to love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. (See Romans 12:10 NLT) For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26-28 NLT)  Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.  (Romans 14:19 NKJV) So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. — Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) In order to have good success we need to meditate in the Word of God and obey what is written in it. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit (See Ephesians 6:17), our weapon against the enemy. In order to use it effectively, let us meditate in it, treasure it in our hearts, that we may not sin against Yahweh. (See Psalms 119:11) Joshua instructed the Israelites: “So be very careful to follow everything Moses wrote in the Book of Instruction.

No compromise with the world or the devil. Cling to Yahw...

“Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.”  “… let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.

Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from idols—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]. — 1 John 5:21 (AMP) Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. (1 John 2:15-16 NKJV) You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness… (2 Peter 3:17 NASB199 5) Instead, keep growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity! Amen. (2 Peter 3:18 TLV) Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. — 1 Corinthians ...

“You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength. You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of the nations. Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy.” — Psalms 65:5-8 (NLT) The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts!
