Lessons in the School of Faith

In the school of faith,

  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.
