No Choice 3
Now they’ve got another choice! Joshua tells them they’re going to have to march around the walls of Jericho. The priest are to blow 7 trumpets and the armies of Israel are to march in total SILENCE for 6 days. That’s a miracle in itself! Then on the 7th day, they’re to march around the wall 7 times. Then Joshua tells them to SHOUT!
“But, I don’t feel like shouting.”
“What do I have to shout about?”
“All I’ve got to show for all this marching is sore feet!”
“I don’t see not one crack in the mortar!”
“All we’re doing is going around in circles!”
They had a choice, but the wall didn’t, it had to fall when the people shouted! It takes faith to rejoice before you see the victory! In Mt 17:24-27, Jesus needed tax money
