Meditations in Joshua
Joshua 6:1-2 – “Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.”
Joshua and the children of Israel did not acquire victory over the city of Jericho through their own ability or ingenuity. Rather, they acquired victory over the city of Jericho only through the power of the Lord their God. The Lord’s favor was upon them, and the Lord’s power granted the victory. Yet there were a number of prerequisites that the Lord required of them before He would grant the victory. These prerequisites are revealed in the earlier chapters of Joshua. In like manner, we ourselves can only find victory in the spiritual battles of our daily lives through the favor and power of the Lord our God. Yet again, there are a number of prerequisites that the Lord our God requires for us to fulfill in order that He might grant us His favor and power for victory.
