Keep Marching

Joshua 6 cont’d:

The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding.  So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.

On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 

Here they go…marching for six days without a result one.

However, God didn’t say the results would come in the beginning of obeying Him. He said the results would come at the end of the obedience of ALL they had been told to do.

We get weary when we feel we’ve heard from God or read his word, and we set out marching, looking for the impossible to become possible. 

One time around…nothing.

Two times around…nothing.

Three times…four…five…then six.

Was God going to come through on his promise?  Surely, some of the people wondered.

However, they continue to obey.

That kind of faith requires perseverance and patience, two P’s that don’t come to us easily.

If you’re weary, keep marching.  God is right beside you and will do what he says he will do.
