The state climatologist recently predicted that Texas will continue to get hotter and for longer periods of time during the next 15 years.

To be a person of great destiny, we must fully understand the meaning of Philippians 4:6- 7. Whatever God has destined for you, there is a process of development that God will take you through to prepare you for your destiny. God has perfect timing for every season of your life. To motivate you, He will show you the end result prophetically. But we must remember that the journey towards our destiny is just as important as the end result. This is why the Scripture states that we should be in prayer and supplication rather than being anxious for our destiny to mature. As we see the destiny unfolding right before our eyes, we get very excited. Our excitement can sometimes cause us to become anxious to see what the full fruition of what your dream will look like. We have seen a vision of our destiny in the supernatural and as it is unfolding before us as we go through the process. We walk through different seasons and take steps of obedience as God lays them before us. We should always remain thankful during the process because the process is what makes us strong enough to handle the final destination.
