Holler

I’m sure everyone is frustrated. I’m sure by now you are tired. You may feel like “enough already.” It seems that even our government is tired of all of these restrictions. It may not make sense. It appears to be hurting the economy. Americans need to get back to work. It’s worth the risk, they say. I’m reminded of Jericho. I’m sure those soldiers were tired. They had been walking around in circles. They didn't see any immediate results. It all seemed pointless. For what? Why? All of these seem like reasonable questions. But….after the frustration, after the idiocracy, after they got to their wit's end. God said, “Blow your trumpets!” They yelled. They shouted. They hollered and the walls of Jericho fell. Maybe it’s time we cry out to God. Maybe it’s time we holler. God knows what could happen if…

2 Chronicles 7:14 kjv…If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Rubble

I had a conversation this morning about how most of us are conditioned to fight. We approach situations with the expectation of conflict or negativity. So, what do we do when there is no reason to fight? What do we do when the battle has already been won? I was reminded about Jericho. They didn’t have to fight, but they sounded the trumpets of war. It sounded like war. It looked like war, but the wall fell. What if all we have to do is release a war cry and the walls would fall in our life? What would you do if every conflict in your life became rubble?
