We can trust God to do what only He can do.
20 So the troops shouted, and the rams’ horns sounded.
When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout,
and the wall collapsed.
The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead,
and they captured the city.
21 They completely destroyed everything in the city with the sword-
every man and woman, both young and old,
and every ox, sheep, and donkey.
Review the events recorded in verses 20-21:
The seven priests blew their ram’s horns and the army
gave a great shout, just as Joshua had commanded them.
The magnificent wall surrounding the city of Jericho collapsed.
The collapse was so sudden that their war shout very likely
turned into a shout of victory as they witnessed
what the Lord had done for them.
After that, every soldier advanced into the city and together captured it. (PSG, p. 42)
Emphasize the connection between absolute obedience and God’s provision and protection in our lives.
The people obeyed God completely, even when it didn’t make sense.
God did the work as the Israelites watched Him fight their battle.
God miraculously provided for the Israelites.
He did something that only He could do-and that they trusted Him enough to make it happen.
Joshua 6:20 is the memory verse for the session
Pray Joshua 6:20 back to God, asking Him to bring a victory to a particular area of their lives in the coming days.
