Do It Again – Part 2

“I’ve seen you move
You move the mountains
And I believe
I’ll see you do it again.”

As Joshua rounded the walls for the seventh time on the seventh day, it’s hard to imagine the nervousness he felt — and perhaps even the confusion. He had spent seven days following instructions that involved walking around a city wall leading an entire nation of people. And if that wasn’t enough, the final instructions for obtaining victory was for his people to blow trumpets and give a loud shout.

Why did they have to walk around a city wall? Why seven laps? Why seven days? And how was shouting supposed to cause a structurally sound wall to collapse?

A lot of it didn’t make sense, but when it comes to faith — that isn’t that unusual. In fact, rarely do the instructions of faith make sense.

Faith will tell you to have patience when everything else is telling you to panic.

Faith will tell you to hold on when everything else is telling you to let go.

Faith will tell you to push forward when everything else is telling you to pull back.

You may not be facing a monstrous wall like Joshua was, but you are facing something. And even if the way forward doesn’t make sense, the good news is it doesn’t have to.

Having faith isn’t about making sense; it’s about making your heart open and available to the voice of God.
