Faith is the Victory, written by Nancy Cunningham, focuses on the five Hebrew words for faith: amen, batach, chasah, yaqal, and qawah and five women in the Bible who epitomized these qualities: Abigail, Hannah, Sarah, Ruth, and Mary.
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world—our faith!
And who is the one who overcomes the world, but He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1Jo 5:4–5

Ezekiel #1
What Ezekiel saw in his vision effected his life (Eze 1:26-28) - it transformed him. God's glory is shown in the likeness of light. The symbols have significance to priests (Ezekiel was trained to be one). God's glory is blinding light, but veiled in human flesh (Luk 2:8-14). The first manifestation of God's Glory in Jesus Christ(Psa 40:6-8, Heb 10:5-9). Second statement from Jesus re-emphasizes His first - that He must do His will (Luk 2:49). The plan of God is Christ the focus of history. Our focus of life is everything - "if our eye is single" (Mat 6:21-33, 2Co 11:3)
