Obedience

You probably won't see this one on the list of top military stragities. In Joshua 6 God tells the Israelites to march around the city walls 6 times and then shout and blow the trumpets. That was their key to victory. The Israelites were obedient. They did just as God commanded. What were the results you ask? Victory! It happened just like God promised. They marched, shouted and when the trumpets blew the walls came down. Victory was theirs. Now if they weren't obedient, would they have had victory? Probably not. God blesses obedience. The walls seemed insurmountable, just like our problens seem sometimes. God's plan didn't seem to make sense but they followed it. Today we often  want all the answers before we will follow God's plan. Is that keeping us from victories that God has for us? If we no the plan is from God do we trust him enough to follow it even when the plan doesn't seem to make sense or we don't have all the answers? Will we be obedient? God will bring down the walls but we must first be obedient. Obedience to Christ is the key to victory to any battle we are facing today.
