| God loves to take the very circumstance that seemed insurmountable and use it to reveal to you the reality of his power and love. He loves to take the walls of Jericho that seem to stand between you and your dreams and cast down the enemy that you couldn’t defeat on your own. Craig Denison |
| There are many ideas as to how the walls of Jericho came down. Both Garstang and Kenyon found evidence of earthquake activity at the time the city met its end. If God did use an earthquake to accomplish His purposes that day, it was still a miracle since it happened at precisely the right moment, and was manifested in such a way as to protect Rahab’s house. No matter what agency God used, it was ultimately He who, through the faith of the Israelites, brought the walls down. After the people had marched around them for seven days, it was “by faith the walls of Jericho fell down” (Hebrews 11:30). |
| As well as showing us how vital it is not to discount the Bible because of some apparent conflict with secular scholarship, Jericho is a wonderful spiritual lesson for God’s people yet today. There are times when we find ourselves facing enormous “walls” that are impossible to break down by human strength. If we put our faith in God and follow His commandments, He will perform “great and mighty things” (Jeremiah 33:3) and give us the victory. |
I started my journey with belief in the word of God when I was very young. I have seen walls fall around me many times in my life. I could not have made the journey in life without my faith that Jesus would somehow – somewhere destroy the “enormous” walls that were impossible to break down by me. Some of these walls in my life did not fall immediately, I had to trust, believe, the promises laid out in the word of God. God is faithful, but it’s up to us to make the choice to believe in Him to do great and mighty things and give us victory. I made that choice!
