Part II:
The Race

 
 
“The land you are… to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.”
Deuteronomy 11:11-12
 
 
“Today we stand at the threshold of the unknown. Before us lies a new year, and we are going forward to take possession of it.”
Streams in the Desert, p. 13, by L.B. Cowman
