Cornerstone,
Gird Up and Trust God
As we enter this new season, God is leading us to a new vineyard. This shifting is not simply about changing locations; it is about following the direction of God and trusting Him with every step of the journey. When God says, “Gird up”, “Arise, go,” our responsibility is to obey, even when we cannot see the entire path ahead.
There may be moments of uncertainty, challenges, and questions along the way, but God has already gone before us. We must gird ourselves with faith, strengthen our hearts in prayer, and refuse to allow fear to dictate our response. The same God who has sustained us in previous seasons will sustain us in this one.
Let us not focus on what we are leaving behind, but on what God is preparing us to walk into. We will gird up, stand firm, pray continually, and trust God throughout the process. We believe that if He is leading us, He will make the way, provide what is needed, and accomplish His purpose for Cornerstone Full Gospel Church.
«“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” — Deuteronomy 31:6»
