“The reason so many men think they don’t have any control over their present is because they don’t have any expectation about their future. They see life as something that is happening to them.

“Satan’s constant assault is aimed at our belief in God’s goodness and power, that God will supply all our needs, and that we can trust God to be sufficient in all ways.
