079 Joshua 6 – 8; Mark 1.21 – 1.45
How do attack a problem? How do you solve a problem? Joshua was given some instructions that would be hard to swallow for almost anyone. It is your first outing as the leader of the Israelites and God tells you to march around the city of Jericho. By marching around the city once everyday and then seven times on the seventh day, with a few other things like horns blowing and shouting the wall is suppose to come down. Right? Why this way? God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Moses. The constant in that statement is God. Follow Joshua, but Israel, you are to trust the Lord.
Make a commitment to look at all the walls in your life as an opportunity to trust the Lord. What needs to come down? Where do you need a victory? What does God want to teach you about trust?
Jesus touched a leper. Jesus reached out to the outcast, the hurt, and the hopeless. Christ healed the leper. The last sentence in the Mark reading says, "But people found him, and came from all over." May that be said of us, that is, people seek us out as individuals and as a church.
