Day 20: Courage Exploded: The Fall of Jericho
Welcome: What is it about faith and courage that seems to breed more faith and courage? After a time of hardship and difficulty, a little faith can really start an avalanche of blessing. Today we see one of the most extraordinary victories in Israel’s history.
Background: Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground, instituted circumcision for all males, celebrated the Passover and are making plans to attack Jericho.
Read: Joshua 6:1-27
Highlight: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.”
You? Our God is the God of the sensational. He completely blew away Israel’s expectations by providing a resounding supernatural victory over Jericho while saving Rahab and her family. The Lord longs to give you the victory over your stronghold. In what area of your life do you need to increase your faith and courage? Remember who your God is!
Pray: God, you are the same God who made the walls of Jericho fall down. I have walls that need to crumble and stay ruined. I believe you can tear them down just like you destroyed Jericho. Please show me what I can do to demonstrate my faith in you.
