[Songs in the Night - March 7]
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down. Hebrews 11:30
"I CAN do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me." (Philippians 4:13)
Faith is an essential; but
we must have crossed the Jordan; we must have been
justified; must have partaken of the antitypical passover;
must have been sanctified before we could have
received of the Lord either a promise of victory over
our Jericho, or before we could exercise such a faith
as would result in that victory.
If in the type faith
could bring the fall of the strong walls of a city, how
great must be the value of faith in the antitype!
"This
is the victory which overcometh the world, even your
faith," but only so long as we trust in the Lord and
seek to do those things pleasing to him, can we exercise
this overcoming faith. Z'02-301 R3088:4 (Hymn 174)
