Joshua at Jericho

Joshua 6 (NIV)

After forty years of wandering, Joshua faced the impossible task of conquering the fortified city of Jericho. God told him to march around the city once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh dayβ€”blowing trumpets and shouting. Joshua obeyed. The walls came tumbling down, and the Israelites won the victory. Courage means obeying God's unusual instructions, even when they don't make sense.
