August 16, 2011 - Joshua 6

S - 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat.
O - This is one of the great miracles that is recorded in the Bible. God has told Joshua that the city of Jericho would be given to the Israelites, but they would need to follow His plan in order to receive this promise. One thing that must have happened as all of these Israelites marched around the city for the previous six days is that the wall took a ton of vibrations and made the rocks unsettle. This was not the only reason that the wall fell on the seventh day but if Joshua would have short-cutted the plan, I believe the wall wouldn't have fell.
A - I too have a God-given plan for my life and the times that I have looked for a short cut all that I was doing was sabotaging the plan that I was to follow and my work was in vain. I need to continually look to the Lord for guidance on what I should be doing to ensure that I am following the plan that He has laid out for me. Without His guidance and help my actions my succeed but not nearly to the extent that they would by following Him.
P - Heavenly Father, I praise you for your wonderful works that you did for Joshua and continue to do for me and those that follow you. Please guide me in my daily actions and bless the work that I do so that I can achieve the plan that you have set out for me. Not for my glory but that my success can be that light on the mountain-top that others look at a wonder how I did this and I can be a testimony for you and your kingdom. Bless me and my family today and everyday. Amen
