2020 Vision for our FAITH
(Mustard Seed)
"He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 (NIV)
" I can do all things
through Christ
who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)
It is a fact - we are at the dawn of the aging process.
Certainly God did not keep this process of life a secret and
it does not come as a surprise but, it has come much quicker than expected!
It is not what you do that counts with God,
it is what you are.
Just because you can't do some things doesn't mean you can't do great things!
Often when we view "life" through the physical lens of our problems and our negative situations, there seems to be no "visible" solutions. Today we are - and we encourage you to allow God to open our inner "eyes of faith" so that
our "vision is clear" for 2020 ......and beyond.
You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways (Job 22:28).
