    Every Day. Routine. Take it or leave it. A dime a dozen. Do we treat the rare like the regular? Do we mistake the extraordinary for the ordinary? Do we overlook the incredible for the common?

    Without a vision the people perish. They perish because their heavenly vision is overpowered by their worldly vision. What is the price you will accept to lose the promises of God?

    WHAT DO YOU SEE? Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish…" - I believe that the biggest reason that many begin serving the Lord; then they will revert to their old lifestyle is that their vision for the wonderful promises in God’s Word has faded.

    Doubts come and go, and often they can lead to greater faith. But living in doubt will leave us in our sin because we are saved "by grace through faith." Blessed are those who believe but have not seen because, in matters of faith, believing is seeing.
