Topic: TRUSTING IN GOD MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE – Part 1

MEMORIZE: “But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalm 73:28.

SCRIPTURE READING: Joshua 6:1-6.

“1. Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. 2 And the LORD said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. 3 "You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. 4 "And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 "It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him." 6 Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD." 7 And he said to the people, "Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the LORD."”

EXPOSITION:

The impossible is what people considered never to be achieved. The city of Jericho built thousands of years before Joshua was born was one of the oldest cities in the world. In some places it had fortified walls up to 25 feet high and 20 feet thick. Soldiers standing guard on top of the walls could see for miles. Jericho was a symbol of military power and strength – the Canaanite considered Jericho invincible.

Israel would attack this city first, and its destruction would put the fear of Israel into the heart of every person in Canaan. The Canaanites saw Israel’s God as a nature god because he parted the river Jordan; and was as a war god because he defeated Sihon and Og. But the Canaanites did not consider him a fortress god – one who could prevail against a walled city. The defeat of Jericho showed not only that Israel’s God was superior to the Canaanite gods, but also that he was invincible.

When you walk with God in total trust in Him, He will order your step right, provide for you in due time and protect you from all evil. He will do the impossible in your life to His glory. Be a beneficiary of His wonders as you trust Him with your life now and always.

PRAYER POINT: Lord, help my faith to trust you wholeheartedly in Jesus name.

Lord, I trust you seeing my Jericho falling before me now in Jesus name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR –  Genesis 6-9.
