"For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13)
Notice:
"....God...
works in you...
for His good pleasure."
This is how we walk in victory in 2024.
I doubt that anyone knew on January 1, 1941, that on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor would be attacked and over two thousand Americans would be killed; the same for January 1, 1963, that November 22nd of that year an American President would be killed.
No one knows what anyone will be doing on January 1, 2025. What we do is that we continue to run our race, "Looking unto Jesus," and, as Paul said, "I press on...." The past is past, yes, and the future is yet to be written, but our life is not a past life nor a future life. Our life is Eternal Life, Who is our King and Savior Jesus Christ. Live in the Eternal One.
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for Eternal Life in You. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
