Today's Passage: Joshua 5-6
Alright, so there are a few stories in the Bible that are difficult to believe. I often think, "Did that really happen?" This section of Joshua is definitely a story that is hard to swallow. However, there is no evidence to prove otherwise and the Biblical data is quite sufficient in proving the capabilities of our God.
Upon reflection, the reality is I don't doubt the actual stories that are contained in Scripture, but I sometimes doubt God himself! My attitude may be one that does not believe that God is truly powerful. It is stories like the conquest of Jericho that highlight the Christian faith. This is the difficult yet powerful part of the lives of Christ, faith! We believe in that which we cannot see, and we are called to live out this faith as well. The Biblical record contains story upon story of the amazing nature of God and how he demonstrates his power in our natural world. I walk away from Joshua 5-6 realizing my finiteness and the infinite power of our God. What a great and true story!
