By Faith

Promise of the Day:
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above, and they shall stand in one heap. (Joshua 3:13)

Prayer:
There is not anything, Lord, that I can do without Faith. All things are possible with God! It was by faith that Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac. He knew Isaac was 'the promise', so He trusted You to fulfill that promise. It was by faith Noah spent 100 years building the ark with no water near, and the word "rain" was not in their vocabulary. It was by faith Rahab hung the red cord out the window and was saved, and Mary became pregnant though she had never been with a man; and of course it was by faith as our verses tells us, that the priests stepped into the Jordan, and the waters parted. Thomas Champness has said: "Faith assists God. It can stop the mouth of lions and quench the violence of fire. It yet honors God, and God honors it. Oh, for this faith that will go on, leaving God to fulfill His promise when He sees fit!" I will therefore sing as I march forward to face each new day. You are a marvelous and awesome God! Amen
