The dopamine circuits ‘promote states of eagerness and directed purpose,’  It’s a state humans love to be in. So good does it feel that we seek out activities, or substances, that keep this system aroused.

THEREFORE God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11

THEREFORE, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,  for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
Philippians 2:12-13

Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called HIS servants and entrusted HIS property to them.
Matthew 25:1

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Philippians 2:14-17

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.
Philippians 1:27

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.  So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.  I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.  I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare. For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.  I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.  And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
Philippians 2:17-24

I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
Matthew 25:25

There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
G.K. Chesterton

I beg you that when I come, I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people, who think that we live by the standards of this world.
2 Corinthians 10:2
