Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.” - Joshua 6:2-5

Dear Jesus, what a crazy battle plans you gave Joshua. But you wanted all of your people to know that you were the One delivering the land to them and not themselves. Help me to remember this when you thwart my plans and take me in another direction that seems crazy to me. Help me to quietly trust your ways and move forward in the direction you lead. You call on me to trust your word and obey when I have no way of seeing how my life will work out. Give me the faith to follow you in that great adventure. I know that if you did not spare your own Son for me, that you have blessings and not curses in store for me. Give me peace today so I comfort and encourage the people along on my journey instead of negativity and complaining. AMEN
