“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities."
Isaiah 54:2-3
This year we have the privilege and opportunity to move forward, to advance, to expand and enlarge as we respond to the invitation given to the people of God, as personified by the barren woman described in Isaiah.
It’s an invitation to go beyond where we have been & to take hold of the future that God has waiting for us.
