Joshua 3:15 ” Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing…”
Earlier, in verse 3, Joshua had instructed the people to move out and follow the priests with the ark of the covenant…” Then you’ll know which way to go, since you have never been this way before.” God will always go before us, preparing the way. He’ll never send you without first preparing not only you, but the path ahead. What He asks of you is to be willing to move out…take that first step…and get your feet wet.
Joshua 6:16 ” The seventh time around, when the Priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the people, ‘Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!’ “
The enemy people of Jericho were entrenched in a formidable stronghold, with walls that had held back warring nations in the past, so they must have watched with amusement as the Jews walked silently around the city for six days. But come that seventh day there was excitement and anticipation in the Jewish camp…God had promised that He would turn Jericho over to their control, and they were eager to see how He would accomplish this feat. The destruction of those massive walls started with “trumpet blasts” from the Priests… those words also meaning thrusting a sword or a spear. Those sounds were used like a weapon in God’s hand to initiate the destruction of the walls. But it was when Joshua ordered the once silent people to give a mighty war cry, that the deafening sound reverberated off those walls, and they came tumbling down.
