A Vision or a Dream?

Aug 22

Church leaders, let's make sure our vision doesn't omit giants.

There were giants in the Israelites' promised land. We often paint vivid pictures of our vision that are all glorious and easy, but the reality is that a bigger vision means bigger responsibilities and bigger battles. Let's make sure our vision for ministry considers the giants and demonstrates how we will fight them from a position of strength. A vision for our future that does not take into consideration giants to be fought, is just a dream. A vision that ensures battle-readiness, is part of God's equipping for living out His plans on earth.
