I Once Was Lost (How peering into the past can propel you into the future)

Meditation Monday: He is Greater than I
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”(John 3:30 NKJV) Father God, you are all-powerful and all-knowing; you hold the whole universe in your hand and the earth is used as your footstool.
