Shhh! It’s a Secret!
It’s easy to jump to conclusions and even allow jealousy, resentment, and covetousness to take over our minds and hearts when we look about us and see evidence in others’ lives of success and favor.

Crystal Clear Persuasion
The transition from December 31 to January 1 does not ensure change. Our persuasion to please God alone above man’s approval or applause will take us to new levels of fulfillment in God’s Last Days plans like never before.

This premise is life-changing. It’s simple. It’s revolutionary. And yet, according to verses 13 & 14 of chapter seven, it’s rarely embraced and accomplished. It requires us to get over what we want at the moment and think about what we want for the future.
