Vision inspires perseverance. After Moses’ death, Joshua accepted the call and challenge to lead God’s people into the land of promise. “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.” (Joshua 1:3) After making this promise to Joshua, God then provided a more detailed blueprint for a vast expanse of territory that extends from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. (Joshua 1:4)
God’s promise is a done deal. All Joshua and the people of God have to do is keep on stepping forward. The verses that follow exhort Joshua, “Don’t stop, look back or deviate to the left or the right. In the face of opposition and conflict, just keep on keeping on. Stay on the journey looking forward. Don’t become comfortable or satisfied when you begin to be filled with fruits that are produced in the land of milk and honey. The abundance that you experience today is not yet the place of ultimate promise. The resistance that you meet tomorrow is not the place of ultimate defeat. Don’t quit, stop, or settle for anything less than the realization of the place of promised destination that you visualized when you first heard God call your name.”
When a leader has a clear picture of God’s destination, the people begin to articulate and live that vision. Over a period of time, that vision begins to penetrate the surrounding culture—vision clarifies God’s purpose and direction. Never jump ship in the face of resistance and opposition! They who do never experience the promise of God because they quit stepping forward; they start over again back at the beginning. You will never reach God’s place of promise if you keep starting over.
Praise the Lord, the vision that was given for the establishing of the Compassion Connection has never wavered! The vision was given, the work was set in place, and we have moved forward accordingly. We have never stopped reaching out to those in need through various seasons and stages of the ministry. God’s will has gone forward!
As I write, we are in position to see the greatest days yet ahead! Things are coming together in ways that only could, in God’s timing! We are so excited about what God is doing now, and what He is putting together for the future of this ministry! Moses was prepared for 80 years to serve for 40 years. God’s best for the Compassion Connection is still to come! We believe that all of God’s promises are good; not one of them will fail. All of the promises of God in Christ are affirmed and answered with God’s YES and AMEN!
Thank you for your support; without the Body coming together, this work would not be possible! Blessings to you and your loved ones!
