1Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its mighty men of valor. 3March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days. 4Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns. 5And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. Then the wall of the city will collapsea and all your people will charge straight into the city.b”
“Jericho was not an exceptionally large city; but it was an important, formidable fortress city. If Israel could defeat Jericho, they could defeat any other enemy facing them in Canaan. Again, we see the wisdom of God as opposed to human wisdom, in that Israel faces their most difficult opponent first.” (Guzik)
“Obviously, it was something that God could have done without Israel’s help at all, but He wanted them to be a part of His work – as He wants us to be a part of His work today.” (Guzik)
With God nothing is impossible! What formidable obstacle does He want you to conquer in partnership with Him?
An addiction? A Ministry? The possibilities are endless!
Mark 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Will you be a part of His work today?
Blessings
