We have to keep the end in mind.

Our goal is to glorify God as long as we’re on earth, and then live with Him in eternity. Our decisions should lead us toward that goal.

It’s time to make application!

Proverbs 3:5-7; 19:3, 21; 28:25

It takes a lot of character and deliberate willpower to truly, genuinely, fully trust in God!

Let Solomon be a warning to us! Deuteronomy 17:7 à I Kings 11:4
