OR in maybe in more familiar terms…. Where YOU headed? …
Do you need a wall to fall down so you can move on to bigger, better, brighter things?
I have been especially encouraged this past week reading about the Israelites faith. The Israelites kept marching around the walls of Jericho –even though everyone observing them –thought they were… pretty much…. nuts –(my words) Ya’ see– the Israelites had FAITH that something GOOD was going to come out of their MARCHING ORDERS-AND OF COURSE IT DID…. When we are marching towards a greater purpose and we are starting to get a bit worn out… We gotta’ remember JUST THAT… “Something Gooddd will come out of our marching orders”…. Eventually. (F-A-I-T-H)
If you are not familiar with this story… Here is an insert ….
The next morning they (THE ISRAELITES) all formed in the same order, and again marched around the walls of the city; and so they did again and again, marching once each day for six days.
On the seventh day, by God's command, they rose very early in the morning, and did not stop when they had marched around the walls once; but kept on marching round and round, until they had gone about the walls seven times. As they went by they saw at one window on the wall a scarlet cord hanging down; and they knew that this was the house of Rahab, who had saved the lives of the two spies.
When the seventh march was ended, they all stood still. Even the trumpets ceased, and there was a great silence for a moment, until the voice of Joshua rang out, "Shout, for the Lord has given you the city!" (He gave them a whole city… Imagine the things He wants to give us)
Then a great shout went up from the host; and they looked at the wall, and saw that it was trembling, and shaking, and falling! It fell down flat at every place but one. There was one part of the wall left standing, where the scarlet cord was hanging from the window-
Now…. Let me ask you again.…..What are you marching order this week?
Where do you think a wall will fall if you keep marching and keep the faith? Now visualize that wall coming down… BAM!
You goooo with your FAITHFUL VISUALIZING SELF… AFTER all -OUR FAITH IS what KEEPS us MARCHING when our state of affairs are a bit dilapidated… Agree?
No worries today- He has an “Eventually” planned out SPECIFICALLY for YOU… and …I could just bet He is working BEHIND the scenes as we speak- working on YOUR eventually… Onward my friends. …Onwardddd…
