Devotional on Joshua 6:20
In Joshua 6:20, we witness a remarkable moment: “So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, they raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat.” This verse marks a powerful demonstration of faith and obedience, illustrating the principle that God’s might prevails when His people respond in trust.
The Israelites faced an impenetrable barrier in Jericho, yet they obeyed God’s unconventional commands. Their victory came not through swords and shields, but through shouts and trumpets—a clear reminder that God often works through our faith and praise in ways we cannot foresee.
As we reflect on this passage, consider the walls you encounter in your own life—challenges, doubts, or obstacles that seem insurmountable. Just as the Israelites encountered a physical barrier, we may also face spiritual, emotional, or relational walls.
In moments of struggle, let us remember to shout in faith and lift our voices in praise. God reminds us through Joshua that our obedience, paired with trust, can lead to breakthroughs. Have faith, persist in prayer, and celebrate His goodness. Your trumpet may sound the breakthrough prepared for you!
Thank You and God Bless
