So much has already been spoken, shared and speculated about what’s taking place right now around the world. The truth is nobody can predict what the future holds. Here are a collection of recent thoughts/things that I’ve run across that are helping me maintain clarity and perspective on my situation.

Fear can destroy your purpose in life

Then Caleb  silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take  possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” But the men who had  gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger  than we are.” And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about  the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours  those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. We  saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim).  We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to  them.”
Numbers 13:30 NIV

We all see life through a certain lens. A lens is an object that allows  us to see clearly. It is used to correct the defects in our vision.  Spiritually, we need a lens of faith to help us have vision. Without  faith, our vision gets lost, and we will find ourselves just trying to make it in life.

Faith sees God; humanism sees only people.
