From The HeartPublish date: 02/28/2016
Foundation Scriptures:
Where there is no vision, the people perish… Proverbs 29:18a KJV
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:2-3 KJV
