Josh. 6:2-5 |
"See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once for six days. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times.... Have all the people give a loud shout"
This certainly seemed like a strange formula for victory. But God's promise was based on His knowledge that all the earth is His. God didn't always use such an unusual approach in giving Israel victory over the peoples of Canaan. Usually the men would simply go to the battlefield and fight. But the victory was always the Lord's. So it is when we take the gospel to the peoples of the world. Sometimes God will move in unusual ways to bring sinners to repentance and believing faith. At other times His messengers must work for years and even decades before seeing fruit from their labors. But the victory is always the Lord's.
Lord, help us to recognize Your hand at work. Give us the patience to persevere with hope in evangelizing unreached peoples. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!! |
