And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. “Joshua 6:5′

Have you ever faced a seemingly impossible challenge in your life and wondered how you could possibly overcome it? In the face of such obstacles, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. The story of Joshua and the Israelites in this verse teaches us an important lesson about trusting in God’s guidance and power, even when the situation seems hopeless.

In this verse, God provides Joshua with a seemingly peculiar plan to conquer the fortified city of Jericho. He instructs the Israelites to march around the city once a day for six days, with seven priests blowing trumpets before the Ark of the Covenant. On the seventh day, they are to march around the city seven times and, at the final trumpet blast, the walls of Jericho would come tumbling down. By following God’s plan, the Israelites witness the power of God’s intervention, leading them to victory.

As believers, we can draw strength and inspiration from this story. When we face challenges that seem insurmountable, we must remember to turn to God for guidance and trust in His plan for our lives. Sometimes, His ways may seem unusual or unexpected, but His power and wisdom are greater than our own. By placing our faith in Him and following His directions, we can overcome even the most daunting obstacles.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, I am humbled by the story of Joshua and the Israelites’ conquest of Jericho. Help me to always remember to turn to You when I face seemingly impossible challenges. Strengthen my faith in Your power and wisdom, and grant me the courage to follow Your guidance, even when it seems unusual or unexpected. Remind me that with You by my side, I can overcome any obstacle. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious fulfilling name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty wonderful, infinite loving, glorious, dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe, and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and His truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
