And thus the impossible leads me
to "the prepared" The desert leads
me to fields white already. The
hard call to sacrifice leads me to the
lamb in the thicket" God is able,
and He is never behind the time. The
critical need unveils His grace.
Faith goes out on this invincible re
lance. It is the assurance of things
hoped for" And by faith It inherits
these things and is rich and strong in
their possession.-From "J II. Jow
