Time To Be Silent ~ Part Two

You can read the Lord’s instructions to Joshua in chapter 6, verses 1-5. All the people heard was his command. They were to march around the city for six days and return to camp. On the seventh day they marched around, the priests blew the trumpets. The people shouted. Verse 10 says that the wall fell down flat.

Verse 21 says, “And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city…” In verse 24 they burned the city and all that was in it. The vessels of gold, silver, bronze, and iron  were put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.

What is the lesson for us? When we face our impossibilities, it is a time to be silent. Negative dialogues are dross to our faith. What we need to do is to speak truth from God’s word. Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

What we hear coming out of our mouths will either build up our faith or weaken it. Mark 11:22 are our watcher-on-the-wall words. It says, “…Have faith in God.”
