ABIDE. EXPERIENCE. PARTICIPATE.

The Lord is allowing this to happen.

The Scriptural vision for 2020 is happening in our midst.

He is allowing us to ABIDE.  What a beautiful thing happening in our midst even in the uncertainty of this virus.  The Good News through this is the virus has cancelled:
Being the Church
Praying to God.
Bible reading and study.
Serving others.
Listening to sermons.
Meditating on Scripture.
Family Worship.
Shelter-in- place gives us a great excuse to really pursue Christ.  What an opportunity to accomplish this vision in 2020.

He is allowing us to EXPERIENCE.  He is allowing us to be an ambassador for Jesus in these times.  His giving us a platform to lift high the name of Jesus.  Would you pray as the God gives us opportunity to see people served and saved?

He is allowing us to PARTICIPATE.  There is no comparison to the suffering He faced, but there is no doubt that those around us and even some of us will suffer.  Suffering will come at the hands of illness.  Suffering may also come at the hands of following Christ.

ABOVE ALL....may we walk away KNOWING HIM! 

"For this reason I kneel before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.  I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through His Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length adn width, height and depth of God's love, and to KNOW Christ's love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us--to be him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."  Ephesians 3: 14-20

Please pray and take advantage of the opportunity that  lies before us.
