"So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God". 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 NIV
There are certain passages in the Bible that just jump off the page and takes a strong hold on you, and the verses above is one of them. When you read 1 Corinthians, you'll find yourself arrested by these verses, I strongly encourage you to take out some time to study the chapters for yourself.
Most of us spend too many waking hours thinking about the problems we have, bills we must pay and day to day frustrations. We focus on what we lack instead of what we have. We should be thinking of the good that is about us, the encouraging achievements of the past, the great blessing of the present and the ample potentials of the future.
All things belongs to you, the world is yours; such a powerful statement that cannot be ignored. Sometimes it seems the world is passing us by without paying the slightest bit of attention. The Christian is the possessor of this life and its fullness...I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10). You are Christ's, and Christ is of God. The future belongs to us because we belong to Christ. Without Christ, we have nothing to anticipate but despair. All things are yours because you belong to Him and your future is as secure as His.
