Tearing Down Walls! (part 2)

8/16/2016

"The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the Lord; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent." -Joshua 6:17 (NASB)

"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)
Sometimes we like to isolate ourselves to try to avoid problems or situations.  Whether we are trying to avoid the conditions of the world in general or the conditions in our lives, we build walls to protect ourselves.  While we may have good intentions when we put up our walls, God may not want us to be separated from the world!

When approaching Jericho,  God helped His followers by tearing down the walls around Jericho.  In our lives, God sometimes tears down the walls we try to build around ourselves.  Even though we may be trying to protect or preserve ourselves by building walls to keep us separate from the world, God may be using circumstances to help us grow or to grow His Kingdom.  God may need us to be part of the world in order for us to learn or for us to be positive influences in what is happening around us.  Whenever we are tempted to build walls, we need to seek God's guidance to see if we should be building or tearing down walls!

Follow God when He tears down your walls and leads you away from your comfort zone!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for wanting me to grow and for using me to further Your Kingdom.  Help me to understand Your will when you tear down walls and lead me away from my comfort zone.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
