You must do this for six days.<\/p>\n<p>God instructed Joshua and the Israelites to march around the walls of Jericho for six days without seeing any immediate signs of progress. Imagine being one of those soldiers, faithfully walking day after day, wondering if anything would actually happen. Sometimes, God asks us to do things that seem pointless or don\u2019t make sense to us at the moment. But just because we don\u2019t see immediate results doesn\u2019t mean that nothing is happening. It requires faith to obey God even when we don&#8217;t see the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s timing is perfect. Sometimes we want things to happen overnight, but God\u2019s plans unfold according to His timeline, not ours. There is a reason behind every delay and every period of waiting. It\u2019s easy to become discouraged and want to quit. But remember, \u201cIt won\u2019t happen overnight, but if you quit, it won\u2019t happen at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brethren, we are all on a journey, and there will be times when it feels like we\u2019re circling the walls of Jericho in our own lives.

It won\u2019t happen overnight, but if you quit, it won\u2019t happen at all.Trust in God\u2019s perfect timing, remain persistent in your faith, and you will see the walls in your life come down.<\/p>\n<p>Further reading:<br \/>\n2Cor. 4:7<br \/>\nNum 14:9<br \/>\n1Cor 1:21<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude4f Blessed Day \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos 6:3 And you must go around the city, all you men of war circling the city once.
