The story of Joshua leading the Israelites to bring down the walls of Jericho is a powerful account that demonstrates the faithfulness and might of the Lord. Before Moses died, he declared that Joshua would be his successor and lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Upon crossing the Jordan, Jericho is the first city the Israelites conquer with Joshua as their leader. 

What moves me the most about the Israelites' part in this story isn't so much their willingness to take that first crazy step of obedience. It how they kept taking steps of obedience. Step after step after step. Even though nothing appeared to change.... even though there wasn't a single sign of cracking or crumbling in those massive walls... they kept marching. Its hard to keep going when we don't see God move the way we thought He would. It sometimes difficult to trust that He's working behind the scenes.

1. we walk by faith and not by sight

2. take God at his word

3. hold fiercely to his promise.
