Lesson 7: You Want Me To Do What

Joshua and the Israelites had crossed the Jordan River, but now they faced a large city of Jericho with huge walls surrounding it. On top of that, God gave them some outrageous instructions in order to win the victory over Jericho. In order to defeat Jericho, they would have to walk around the city once a day for six days without saying a word, and then on the seventh day walk around the city seven times and yell. That was the plan. The Israelites had to learn a big lesson in trust. Your children will learn that same lesson as they go through some of the same emotions the Israelites did in today’s lesson. We must trust God’s plan, even when it may not “make sense.”
