God promised Israel victory over Jericho if they followed His plan, but some extremely huge walls stood in the way.
The outer wall was 6 ft. thick and about 20 ft. high. The inner wall was about 12 ft. thick and 30 ft. high. Between the walls was a guarded walkway about 15 ft. wide.
It was a strange plan but it was God’s plan, and Joshua and his army followed it by faith.
Inside the walls the people heard ram's horn trumpets and soldier's feet pounding the ground—once each day, six days in all. The seventh day they marched around seven times.
I like Elvis’ rendition of the Walls of Jericho Song.
The trumpets began to sound
The people shouted “Glory!”
And the walls came tumblin' down.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
God’s way may seem too hard, too slow or, as in this case, too foolish; but His way is always the best way.
Don’t look upon your obstacles as dead-ends, but as opportunities for the Lord to work in your life.
