Bringing Down Walls God’s Way

The story of walls of Jericho falling is one of the most favorite in children bible classes. But as adult Christians it seems to be lost in the Children section of our mind. We don't do it on purpose. Because of the influences of modern theologians and atheist have tried to reduce the Old Testament stories like the walls of Jericho, Jonah and the fish, destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to allegories. That there were not real historical events. The way God destroyed Jericho is a real historical event. Nothing in the original languages indicate the writer was writing the story of Jericho allegorically. It was a very import first step for the Hebrews in conquering Cannan. There are many lessons they learn, but the greatest was that God will bring down any wall in your way. You may not believe in the strategy, but trust in the results. this is an important lesson for us today. We have many walls that keep us from serving God. Some even after God destroys the walls gather back up the bricks and rebuild the wall. You may not understand or agree with God's strategy to bring down the walls you face, trust in the results.
