"So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city." -Joshua 6:20 (NASB)
Watching the Olympics provides a look at the lives of athletes committed to developing their skill and preparing to compete. There are some athletes that have overcome especially difficult circumstances in their journeys to compete and become national and international champions. These athletes could have looked at their obstacles as walls that couldn't be overcome, just as we may have obstacles seem unbreakable or immovable. What can help us overcome our obstacles?
God leads us each in our own directions. God has a plan for our lives and even if we think there are barriers too high to overcome, God can tear down walls. We can rely on God's guidance in order to accomplish more than we may have imagined or more than what seems possible. We can rely on God to move walls in order for us to be champions of His love and forgiveness. As God's champions, we can help others to see His grace, mercy, and power. We can help others understand God's plan for salvation and God's ability to remove their walls and obstacles, too!
God will tear down the walls in your life, just follow Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for removing the walls that are present in my life. Help me to use the opportunities You provide to show others Your love, forgiveness, and power. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
