RIDING ON FAITH

As if God were reminding me, He drew my us never forget whose will shall be done. On this
attention to the eagle floating high in the sky without Independence Day, let us seek His face, and ask
fear or fetters for each tomorrow. In that moment, Him to Let Freedom Ring, and God Bless America.
I remembered who was in charge. “But they that
wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they

(Isaiah 40:31) There’s comfort only in Him. 2nd
Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by
