The bible is a book of many promises, all of which we can claim from a good and faithful God. It is when we realize that even though we may accomplish many things, it is truly from our faith and understanding we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!

When we turn to the Lord and trust in Him, many times we are able to say only God could have made a certain thing possible. When we look to Him He will bring it to pass and we know it was not by our own strength (Psalms 37:3-9) Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

Although a lot of people start out life pursuing what this life offers them, it is after learning it is more blessed to give than to receive do we see Gods way more clearly ( Philippians 2:1-4) If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Although many seem to think this life is all about them, scripture teaches our focus should be on the one who loved us enough to die! We are His hands and feet through this life, and by His spirit do we guide others into the truth that will set them free. This is where we end and God begins, and when we come to Christ our life is then hid in Him! ( Colossians 3:1-4) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
