The most important aspect of our personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is knowing without any doubt that He is a constant presence. He is always there to lead us through each day, where we make a daily decision to follow Him & trust the direction in which He leads us.

"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you." —Psalm 5:11

When you faithfully trust the Lord for the not yet, He will continue to sustain you in the now.

"Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the LORD." Jeremiah 23:24 (NLT)

"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires." - Hebrews 4:12

Life consists of the past, the now, and the not yet. We live our best life according to how much we trust the Lord for all three. We trust Him to enable us to move beyond our past, excel in the now, and keep our hope anchored in Him for the not yet.

To know joy in the midst of hardship & adversity is one of God's greatest gifts. Choosing to seek Him during the worst times of our life is one of our greatest gifts to Him.

Trust the Lord for all things, and bear your burdens and concerns, as well as your joys and sorrows to Him. Always let God know how much you love Him and need Him, and that you put your total faith in Him for every need, no matter how big or small.

Faith is what moves us beyond belief to action.

Pray & thank God for His faithfulness & His promises. Be mindful of the truth that your past does not determine your future.

Courageous reverence & respect for God results in faithful action for Him.

There's a hope we have in Jesus Christ that outlasts anything promised by the world.

God wants to hear your voice, and will always listen to what you have to say. So, when it needs to be said, say it to Him first.

Impatience is one of the greatest weaknesses of our human nature. That's why it's of the utmost importance to trust in God's timing, so that we don't make the mistake of rushing ahead of Him, and missing out on the blessing He wants to bring our way.
