Jericho

Who's ever heard the Bible story of the town of Jericho?

I'll sum it up. The Israelites, led by Joshua and commanded by God, were told to take all the armed men and march around the city of Jericho with out saying a word. They were suppose to march around the city just once, with the trumpets blowing, then head back to camp and they did this for six days! The seventh day they marched around the city seven times and on the seventh time when the priests blew the trumpets they shouted for the Lord had given them they city. The walls fell in  and only Rahab, who had helped the Israelites, and her family were spared. The Israelites never had to throw stones or scale walls, God delivered the city into their hands.

But let's back up, say you're one of the armed men and following Joshua you're told to march around this city. If that was me I'd probably be thinking "Okay Joshua this desert heat has finally gotten to you. What are you thinking?" Or maybe you have more faith then that so you're thinking, "Okay God this is some sort of test right? Before the real battle begins?" Whatever it is you're thinking you're not seeing the whole picture.

So how does this compare to our lives today? I mean this was a few thousand years ago right?

Well it was but how many times have you felt like you were walking in proverbial circles? Dealing with the same issues over and over again? Praying and feeling like you're talking to thin air because God doesn't seem to be answering you.
Maybe you're just not to the seventh day yet.
