The Faith Option

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
Hebrews 11:30 KJV

Last week, I saw 2 of my dear friends renew their wedding vows & in process learned a lesson on faith. Many of us were asking them to do it but for personal reason, they did not want to. I was very adamant about it & try to convince them( Human Effort)and was failing but we started praying and when all hope was lost and we had resigned to fact It was not going to happen, God took control. It was the most beautiful ceremony, perfect setting and even if we had planned it for a year, we could not have done it better. Without going into details, this was not just renewing of vows but answered to many prayers and result of Faith. So, today I can not help but ask you, what is the wall of Jericho in your life? Joshua was asked to walk around the wall and he did it in faith and God delivered. He did not have to climb the wall, nor did he have to break the wall but it simply fell. Do you have a broken relationship? Is there brother or sister who has hurt you? Is their sibling you have not spoken to in years? maybe you have no relationship with your parents.Is your marriage failing? Maybe, your spouse is not walking with God or they are of different religion? Are you dealing with addiction? fear? anxiety? worry? whatever is your wall, Jesus can knock it down for you. Put your faith in him.Trust in him.Bring it to him in prayer and have faith. Like Joshua, walk in faith & victory is yours. For seven days Joshua walked around the wall, for six days there was no sign of wall weakening nor was victory in sight but on seventh day, wall came crumbling down. Keep faith, today might be your seventh day or today you can take this opportunity to take your first step in faith.Are you ready to walk in faith?
