Ever faced an insurmountable wall that needed toppling?

The Isralites had their own wall to topple before they could enter the promised land. The wall they faced surrounded Jericho, a fortified city with "walls up to the sky" (deut9:1) When the Isralites arrived, Jericho's residents had just completed the spring harvest, and the city wells were brimming with spring rain. Archaeological experts estimate that the inhabitants probably could have held out for several years. Defeating the city was one of history's most unlikely- and humanly impossible- victories. Yet the people of God accomplished it-not with trumpets and shouting, but with obedience to God's directives.

Perhaps you find yourself staring up at an insurmountable wall that God is calling you to conquer-a wall that seems as frightening as it is large. Maybe your wall is a task that seems impossible, a goal too incredible to imagine or a repeating pattern of sin you haven't been able to overome on your own.

Many things in life look like Jericho's wall- obstacles that stand in the way of what God wants us to accomplish for him. But when we claim God's promises and move forward with faith, we topple our walls and alk victoriously over the rubble.
