But how often have you attained something worldly and found it completely fulfilled all the hopes and dreams you pinned upon it? Even if it did satisfy in the moment, how long before another desire began to capture your attention?

To remain balanced, we need to focus upon God and not ourselves. He knows our needs better than we do and promises to always meet them in good time. Based on God’s past performance, how can we not have confidence in Him to provide for us in the future? If we are doing what God wants us to do, we have no reason to be anxious about what's going on all about us.

About Dr. Charles Stanley

Dr. Charles Stanley

September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023

Dr. Charles F. Stanley was the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta for more than fifty years. He was also the founder of In Touch Ministries and a New York Times best-selling author, who wrote more than seventy books encouraging people to seek Jesus as their Savior and know Him as their wise and loving Lord. 

Known to audiences around the world through his wide-reaching TV and radio broadcasts, Stanley modeled his 65 years of ministry after the apostle Paul’s message in Acts 20:24: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”
