Until It's Done

Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”

- Joshua 6:1-5, NKJV

Do you believe God? Do you believe He is Who He says He is? Do you believe He’ll do what He says He’ll do? If the answer is “yes”, then do “you” believe He’ll do “it” for “you”? Answer still “yes”…then will you follow His instructions until “it” (whatever it is) is done? While it is easy to say “yes” when you can see how a situation or circumstance may benefit you, it’s a much tougher thing to continue to go in a direction you are uncertain of the outcome. However strange that direction may seem to be, your trust and faith in God must prevail over fear, doubt, and anxiety (examine your answers to the first five questions and see if they are the same now). Understand that “it” can be any number of things and more likely than not “it” is probably something you’re not only incapable of doing on your own, but unwilling to do even if given the means. Bottom line “it” requires a new level of faith, trust, and commitment…and that is exactly why God has placed “it” in your life. Know that “it” isn’t some random happenstance, rather a training ground to advance your walk in Him that you may bring light to His people and glory to His name. Do you believe in God enough today to press on regardless of what “it” is and how “it” will impact you…if so then work until it’s done knowing that neither God’s hand, nor His promises will ever falter.

BE BLESSED!
