Thought

Jericho, with its massive, fortified wall, was an important city in the Promised Land. It would be one of the more difficult cities for the Israelites to conquer. Joshua was a brand-new leader and had a challenge before him: Would he obey the Lord and have his soldiers and priests march around the walls for seven days? It was a moment designed to put his courage and that of the people he led to the test. God never promises our paths as His servants will be easy, but He does promise to be with us every step, just as God was with Joshua.
