To be effective in life and ministry, we need both vision and relationships. Vision expands our horizons and energizes us, while relationships nurture us and keep us grounded. Vision without relationships exposes us to unholy ambition. Relationships without vision tempt us to become self-centered and complacent. But when vision and relationship merge, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished for the Lord.

“He appointed twelve – designating them apostles – that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.”

— Mark 3:14-15 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, teach us to spend time with You so that You can send us out to minister for You. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
