With the image of Joshua and the people walking around the walls of Jericho in your mind, prayerfully read the New Testament letter to the Hebrews, chapter 11. Circle each time ‘faith’ is mentioned in this chapter.
‘Zoom in’ to Vs. 30- 31- “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being encircled by the Israelites for seven days.
By faith Rahab the prostitute received the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed.”
Notice that the Israelite’s faith was Not mere intellectual assent that agreed with certain facts and checked boxes. But their Faith acted, moved, & walked – i.e., - a living faith in a living God that lived through the people’s lives.
Joshua instructed the people - “Do not shout or let your voice be heard. Don’t let one word come out of your mouth until the time I say, ‘Shout! ’ Then you are to shout.” (Joshua 6:10).
Lead your heart in prayer to demonstrate Quiet confidence in God’s Presence with you, His Promise to you, and His power toward you. Experience Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth!”
