By faith the walls of Jericho fell.
—Hebrews 11:30
God told Joshua, “I have delivered Jericho into your hands” (Josh 6:2). Not “I will deliver,” but “I have delivered.”
Conquest of the walled city of Jericho seemed impossible.
And God’s plan seemed dubious: march around the city once a day for six days; seven times on the seventh day; and when Joshua says, “Shout!” shout!
So, they marched, and when Joshua said, “Shout!” they shouted; the wall collapsed, and the city was theirs.
When God says it, it’s as good as done.
“I do not ask that He must prove His Word is true to me,
And that before I can believe He first must let me see.
It is enough for me to know
it’s true because He says it’s so.
On His unchanging Word I’ll stand
and trust till I can understand.
–E.M. Winter
If I must have proof before I
believe him, I don’t believe him.
