Ephesians 1:4
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
Psalm 37:3
“Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.”
Having a place of permanence in the middle of life's uncertainties and having the assurance of God's provision are based on two very clear principles: trusting in the LORD and doing good to others. When we live by those two commitments, we learn to depend upon God in fresh new ways that bring us refreshment, hope, and new joy.

"The church exists by mission, as fire exists by burning." - Emil Brunner
"The long dull monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the Devil." - C. S. Lewis
"I only know this, that if He had not sought me out, I would never have come to Him." - Charles H. Spurgeon
"Satan watches for those vessels that sail without convoy." - George Swinnock
1 John 4:4
“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them [those who deny that Jesus is from God and who have the spirit of the world], because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
The world can often be a hostile place for believers. God wants his spiritual children to know, however, that they are not alone. He lives in us through his Spirit. We can be assured, therefore, that no matter what spirit someone else may have, the Holy Spirit of God is greater, more powerful, and more glorious. The victory is ours because God's presence in us is greater than any force that we will ever face. We have our victory assured over all forces, powers, spirits, or opponents.
