God's Biblical Blueprint for Life: Past, Present, and Future Explained

God's mandate from the beginning has been for us to steward the earth (Gen. 1:28), managing our resources, time, money, and bodies wisely while focusing on His Kingdom. Pastor Ben encouraged us to develop a purposeful vision for 2025, moving beyond past regrets and victories, as emphasized in Phil 3:13-14. He shared Jabez's prayer for expansion (1 Chronicles 4:10) and urged us to actively occupy and invest in God's kingdom until Jesus's return, reminding us that our past is redeemed through Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19). Fear and anxiety stem from future worries devoid of God’s power (Matthew 6:34), while Psalm 37:5 calls us to commit our actions to Him. As we reflect on what we're grateful for and what we dream of achieving with God in 2025, let's trust in His promise of new beginnings, as stated in Isaiah 43:18-19. 01/05/25 | Vida Church
