What does this show me about God?
- God knocks the wall down; the people just walk and shout. Whose victory is this?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- Marching around a city for seven days must have felt ridiculous. Have you ever obeyed something that felt strange?
What will I obey this week?
- What is one thing God has asked of you that you will do this week even if nobody understands it?
Who will I tell?
- Who is facing something that looks like a wall? What could you remind them?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
God, your people marched around a wall for a week and you knocked it down yourself. Thank you that the hard things are not too hard for you. Help me obey even when it looks silly.
