“The reason our secular culture is so obsessed with preparing for the future is that so few trust the God of the future. We would do well to remember Jesus’ parable of the ‘rich fool’ to whom God said, ‘This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ (Luke 12:20). So, make your plans for the new year and the new day, then trust them to God’s providence. Prepare for tomorrow, but prepare even more for eternity. And your peace “which surpasses all understanding” will be a powerful witness to a fearful culture (Philippians 4:7). The safest place to be is in the center of the will of God”–Jim Denison.

“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you”–Isaiah 26:3.

“The man of God in the will of God is invincible until his work on earth is done.”

“The greatest thing in time, space, and eternity is the fame, the name, and the glory of Jesus Christ”–Louie Giglio.

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus”–Philippians 3:12-14.
