If you need wisdom . . . ask him (James 1:5, NLT) Many successful people have acknowledged in their memoirs that whenever they came to an impasse in their work and were completely baffled, they sought wisdom from the Lord.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:6, NLT) Our sovereign God is truly in control of even the smallest details of our lives, even though often we are unaware of His invisible hand.

What I say to you I say to everyone: Watch for his return! (Mark 13:37, NLT) Jesus said, "When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day. In those days before the Flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn't realize what was going to happen until the Flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes" (Matthew 24: 37-39, NLT).

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15, NLT). Christ existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation. Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see -- kings, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities. Everything has been created through him and for him. He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.
