Daily readings
Preface - David fetcheth the ark from Kirjath-jearim on a new cart. Uzzah offering to lay hold on it is smitten dead; on which account the ark being carried into Obed-edom's house bringeth a blessing with it. David bringeth in into Zion, sacrificing and dancing before it, for which Michal despiseth him. He placeth it in a tabernacle with sacrifices and feasting. Michal reproving David for his religious joy is childless to her death.
2 Samuel 6

Faith is the victory
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven day. - Hebrews 11 v 30.
​There is many a Jericho in our own heart walled up to heaven, many a fortress of sin, many giant lusts, which threaten our souls. 'O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from teh body of this death?' 'If the Lord delight in us, he will bring us into the good land.' 'By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven day.' God made the walls f Jericho fall flat, by a mere breath of wind, a noise; so He is able still. Settle it in your hearts: there is no Jericho in your hearts.
