Success at Jericho

Here are three simple words that describe the victory at Jericho.  They are work, wait, and win.  WORK – God gave specific directions for the children of Israel to follow.  It involved organization, procession, and execution.  If you have ever tried to coordinate a group to march in line and on queue you have a simple understanding of Joshua’s challenge to coordinate 400,000+ men.  WAIT – After the nation of Israel had obeyed they had to wait on God to do His work.  We must work, but we must rely on God to work.  Here is a famous quote from Dr. Lee Roberson.  ”Work like it all depends on you; pray like it all depends on God.”  WIN- If the believer will work and they wait, He will win.
