And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days.” Joshua 6:2,3
The battle of Jericho was a unique battle in the timeline of Israel's history as a nation. Having taken fresh steps into the Promised Land, Joshua leads the people to conquer Jericho. The battle plan was unconventional but yet it needed to be followed in detail. In carrying out the plan, Israel would open the door to further victories. Those victories would establish them in the new land. From this battle we can draw many parallels to our own day. May we continue to march around the Jerichos in our lives knowing God has the power to topple the walls and giants we face.
