Jericho:
Reading from Joshua 6:2 – “Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its fighting men over to you”.
t is just as simple as that. All the formidable obstacles, powers that be, and the insurmountable unscalable walls are just handed over. All that remains now is for the dust to settle at the end of the battle.
Be strong and of good courage. Whatever may be your Jericho, if He says so, it is handed over to you. I believe. I thank Him.
The liberty to choose is one of the greatest gifts we can give one another. It is one of the great gifts of God to us. We did not need to be bestowed this. We are by nature creaturely. A creation does not need to choose. Like a slave cannot choose. But choice is one of the least appreciated and most widely abused gifts given to us. It is also one of the things we deny each other, even those we love. In permitting considered choice, we give love. In observing the choice, we see love. The converse of this when we deny choice, we subjugate, control, manipulate and coerce. That is not love. Satan always leaves us with a derivation – “ I have no other choice other than…”. That stiled pathway often leads us to the edge of a precipice overlooking death and destruction. We always have a choice. We can always choose God.
