But I do not account my life of any value
nor as precious to myself,
if only I may accomplish my course
and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus,
to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

(His purposes fulfilled every day)

Take courage,
for as you have testified about Me in Jerusalem,
so you must bear witness also at Rome.

(bearing witness to His truth and grace
wherever you are,
whatever you do,
whatever you say)

...every day a portion,
as long as he lived.

(how God cares for us
and provides for our needs,
just what we need,
when we need it.)

Take root downward,
     and bear fruit upward.

                2 Kings 19.30


(deep roots,
 abundant fruit)

Praise Him for His mighty deeds,
praise Him according to His exceeding greatness.

                                      Psalm 150.2

(more than we can ever imagine)

Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messenger,
and read it,
and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD,
and spread it before the LORD.
