The secret of the gospel is that we actually do more when we hear less about all we need to do for God and hear more about all that God has already done for us.

Sanctification will be drudgery unless we believe that holiness is possible and that it is pleasing to God.

We walk into the future in God-glorifying confidence, not because the future is known to us but because it is known to God. And that's all we need to know. Worry about the future is not simply a character tic, it is the sin of unbelief, an indication that our hearts are not resting in the promises of God.
