#soap # Joshua 6 ## Title: Trust God’s Odd Ways ## Scripture: (Joshua 6:16) The seventh time around, the priests blew the rams’ horns, and Joshua told the army, “Give the battle cry, for the Lord is handing the city over to you! (NET) ## Observation: It must have seemed odd to the nation of Israel to march around Jericho. It would have completely gone against any form of rational battle plan. However, God knew what He was doing and gave them the city with a miracle. When we follow God’s Word, it can sometimes seem counterintuitive. Does God really mean we have to forgive others, serve others, walk in freedom, and say no to our sinful desires? Yes. If we trust Him, we will see Him do miracles in our lives. ## Application: Trust God’s Word over anything else. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us see the goodness of Your plans.
