Lessons in the School of Faith

In the school of faith,

  what I am required to do

    I am enabled to do. 

Provision has been made.

I am not alone 

  and there is nothing to fear.

God sometimes asks of us 

  things that look impossible, 

    but they never turn out to be –

because God’s command 

  is always His enabling.

It is always possible 

  to do the will of God.

<>< <>< <>< <>< <><

I don’t have to know 

  how God is going to do something.

I have to know only the one step 

  that He is asking me to take.

<>< <>< <>< <>< <><

The deepest lessons 

  come out of the deepest waters 

    and the hottest fires.

<>< <>< <>< <>< <><

Through my deepest waters, 

  hottest fires and darkest valleys

God has taught me the deepest 

  and most eternal lessons.
