Ephesians 3:20-21 – Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, [21] to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. (NASB)

What lies ahead for Summit in 2019?

Pessimists are right.  Optimists are right. The glass is half-empty.  The glass is half-full.  The way we look at our world changes our world.  A former boss used to say, “perception is reality.”  If you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re probably right.  Expectations have magical powers. So many people to serve, so many helping hands to be offered, so many things to learn, so many to teach.  We start one step at a time and we build line upon line, precept upon precept. Forward motion multiplies. Today’s as good a day as any to commit to possibility.  The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:31, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”  It’s time to think big!

All it takes is someone to say “I have an idea.”  It doesn’t require any special training, certificate or degree. It’s simply the work of someone who cares enough to lead, at least right now. And right now is enough. Imagine all that can be accomplished when we imagine the possibilities and someone says, “C’mon, let’s do it.” As Paul declared in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”  The creator of the universe is not limited by the things we can imagine.  If we trust in Him, and seek to do His will, there is nothing we cannot accomplish!
