On Jordan's Stormy Banks

<p>Samuel Stennett's poem raises our vision from the trials that confront us in our daily walk to the land of "Canaan" &nbsp;"where my possessions lie," my true possessions. &nbsp;The metaphor Canaan is extended to show the Promised Land is beyond this life and is the land where Jesus reigns. &nbsp;What great hope we have, and can tell to others, as we look forward to that time when we will cross those banks and be in Jesus' presence.</p> <p>Article taken from <strong>Then Sings My Soul, Volumes 1 &amp; 2</strong> by Robert J.
