“The Door of Faith”
Joshua 6:20

We are faced with many walls of temptation, difficulties, tribulations and sore infirmities; And they look too hard to go through, too high to get over, too wide to go around and rooted too deep to go under; But we have access to a door. We already stand defeated trying to butt through the wall under our own power; The door of faith stands wide open, beckoning us to step through, and waiting on the other side, is Jesus to guide us to the victory. Jesus has saved us with eternal salvation, and is saving us through our trials, and will save us in future tribulations; And save us out of the storms of life. When doubts, fears, temptations, and hard times overshadow us, faith is the escape route; Christ has overcome for us, and we can shout victory going through and victory coming out the other side. When it seems there is no hope for us, remember He is our hope and our conqueror. Remember where you could have been, had it not been for Jesus; Remember the promise, “I’ll not leave you, nor forsake you.” And remember that we’re on our way home, the table is set, the Master bids us come and dine, the victory is won.

 “Faith”

There’s a wall before me, 

What must I do?

Too high to go over, and I 

Sure can’t go through.

But what is that I see dimly lit?

Well, it’s a doorway, I must go through it.

 What’s that written over it?

I barely can see; 

The darkness of my trial,

Has almost overtaken me.

FAITH! It says the work is done.

Weekly Memory Verses:  1 Peter 2:1-5 

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

3  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

4  ¶To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
