God is very blunt about the danger of living for the here and now and adopting the values, priorities, and lifestyles of the world around us.

If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way.”6 Imagine”

“Los problemas nos obligan a mirar a Dios y depender de él más que de nosotros mismos. Pablo testificó de este beneficio: «Nos pareció que estábamos ya sentenciados a muerte y vimos lo inútiles que éramos para escapar; pero eso fue lo bueno, porque entonces lo dejamos todo en las manos del único que podía salvarnos: Dios«.10 Nunca sabrás que Dios es todo lo que necesitas hasta que él sea todo lo que tengas.”
