Necessary foundations as we begin our journey through this important book.

True humility flows from beholding the example of Christ.

By humbly casting our anxieties on God and humbly trusting in his unfailing love, we can experience hope and joy in the midst of any circumstance.

Having witnessed the God who fulfills his promises, we can live and die counting on his continued faithfulness.

Remember that the God of your faith is the author and finisher of your faith.

Purpose in your heart today to believe that amid all the wonders and tumult of your life stands the unfaltering goodness, steadfast love, and eternal purposes of your faithful Father.

We will live faithfully before God and the nations as we remember He is with us amid all circumstances.

Be assured that he who worked through broken people and sin-stained circumstances to ultimately provide redemption for his people, how much more will he work in your brokenness and sin-stained life for his glory and your present and future good?

We exist to glorify God by maturing and multiplying disciples who enjoy, declare, and display the good news of Jesus for the joy of all peoples.

Just as God has purposed the most horrendous moments in the Bible to bring about his plan of salvations so has he purposed the absolute worst moments of your life for the praise of his glory and for our deep and everlasting good.
