As important as your past is, it is not as important
as the way you see your future. - Anonymous

"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. . ."
"You have so many promises, that all the conditions and positions of the believer are met.
I sometimes liken the promises to the locksmith's great bunch of keys,
which he brings when you have lost the key of your treasure chest, and cannot unlock it.
He feels pretty sure that out of all the keys upon the ring some one or other will fit,
and he tries them with patient industry.
At last! yes! that is it, he has moved the bolt, and you can get at your treasures!
There is always a promise in the volume of inspiration suitable to your present case.
Make the Lord's promises your delight and your counselors, and they will befriend you at every turn.
Search the Scriptures, and you shall meet with a promise
which will be so applicable to you as to appear to have been written after your trouble had occurred!
So exactly will it apply, that you will be compelled to marvel at the wonderful tenderness and suitableness of it."
-Spurgeon

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
"Until we are brought into the depths of poverty, we shall never know nor value Christ's riches.
But whatever your need be, it is not beyond the reach of divine supply!
And the deeper your need, the more is Jesus glorified in supplying it.
No state in which the soul can get, is beyond the reach of the almighty and compassionate love,
that burns in the breast of the Redeemer!"

It is comforting to know that the God who guides us sees
tomorrow more clearly than we see yesterday.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword, piercing even to the dividing assunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight:
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed unto the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come bodly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:12-16

II Corinthians 1:9 & 10 "But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us"

"To know that no alterations of time, no earthly changes, affect His faithfulness to His people. And more than this; no changes in them, no unfaithfulness of theirs, causes the slightest change in God. Once a Father, always a Father; once a Friend, always a Friend." - Octavius Winslow
What lies before us
And what lies behind us
Is not as important
As what lies within us.
