In
Joshua 6, God gave Joshua a really strange military strategy to take
the city of Jericho. See, Jericho had this huge wall that protected
it. That wall kept the children of Israel from entering into their
destiny, into the calling God had for them.
Rather
than siege ramps or battering rams, God's strategy for taking it down
was worship. He told Joshua to have the musicians lead the army
around the city, with the whole company worshiping, and the wall
would come down all by itself. I'm sure Jericho's pagan soldiers on
the wall made fun of them and ridiculed them – until the wall fell.
What
obstacles face you in your life? Don't say, “I'll be glad when
this is over.” Be glad now. Nothing in this world has the power
to postpone the joy God the Father has given us, except us ourselves.
Choose to worship now, right in the middle of it. Get intimate with
Jesus now, in the middle of the pain, and the hurt, and the fear.
Worship
from your heart, in the middle of insane circumstances, is a powerful
weapon of warfare. It nukes the obstacles in front of you that are
preventing you from entering into what God has for you. I encourage
you to take some time now, or sometime today on this glorious day
that He has made, and worship your Lover-King.
