Going around Jericho

Sometimes the problems which I face in life can look as big as Jericho. The walls may look formidable, defying the prayers and petitions of many. Occasionally in my waking moments, I find myself going around and around my dilemma. It's easy to be so dorminated by the challenge you face that you just keep going -- around and around obsessed with it.

Joshua had company of the whole army going around Jericho. It's good to march with others. There's strength in the fellowship of believers who have the same focus and goals and who lend comfort and encouragement to each other.

I am happy and blessed to have close friends fighting alongside with me, supporting and encouraging me every step of my way. Thank you so much!

The walls will crumble one day, and it will all be over. God will get the glory, and the hard marches in the heat of the day will be forgotten in the sweet taste of victory. Until that great day when our particular Jericho falls. God grant us the perseverance and the endurance believing that however high the walls, fortified that gates and strong the enemy, it's only a matter of time!

Joshua 6


Praise You by Jade Ambroze

Well I know You're gonna save me from this situation
But if not I will praise You anyway
I will lift my hands and raise my voice in adoration
For You are God whatever I may face

And I will thank you for the sunshine that I long for in my life
Then gladly I will praise You as it rains
For You are the God of grace
You are the God of my salvation
And that is one thing that will never change

Your ways are higher, wiser, deeper than my own
You are the promise keeper and You'll not leave me alone
So let me be like Daniel in the lion's den
And let me be like Job and not his friends

Because You loved me before the dawn of time
And always I am Yours and You are mine
So let me be like Stephen praising Your name
And let me be like Abel and not Cain

For though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil
For You are with me
You rod and staff they comfort me still


Well I know You're gonna save me from this situation
But if not I will love You and rejoice
And no matter what the season, trial or tribulation
I will honour You with heart and mind and voice


You are the Alpha, Omega, Beginning and the End
You are my Hope, my Comforter and Friend
So let me be like Peter laying down his life
And let me be like Lot and not his wife

Nothing's gonna take Your love away...
