John 14:15
Would you trust God even when His plan doesn’t make sense? Marching silently around a city for seven days wouldn’t make anyone’s list of battle strategies—but that’s exactly what God told Joshua to do. Jericho’s walls didn’t fall because of military strength. They fell because of radical obedience. God’s commands often challenge our instincts. They push against pride, comfort, and logic. But obedience isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting the One who does. Like Israel, we’re called to follow even when the path seems strange, knowing that God sees what we can’t. Sometimes obedience feels small or even foolish, but it opens the door for God to move in powerful ways. What “wall” are you facing today? Walk in faith, and let God show His power through your trust.
