Fjeldberg – Devotion for August 29, 2024
READ (Joshua 6:5)
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.
REFLECT
Recently I was reading bedtime stories to my granddaughter from her
children’s Bible, and we came to the story of the walls of Jericho coming
down. God instructed Joshua to march around the city walls for seven
days, and on the seventh day the walls would crash down. The walls of
Jericho should have been indestructible. What Joshua and the Israelites
were up against may have seemed impossible to overcome. But they
followed God anyway with full trust and hope in His promise, having faith
that He would indeed fight for them to claim the land that was promised to
them.
Even if the path seems impossible or is not what we expected, when we
follow God’s plans for us and put our trust in Him, that is when the
impossible can happen.
PRAY: Dear God, help us to remember to follow Your plan on life’s journey,
and to put our trust in You. Amen
