Joshua 4-6

God's battle plans always seem strange in our mind. When Israel faced the Amalekites victory was dependent not on the men in the battle but on Moses' prayers (Exodus 17:11). When they entered the Promised Land the plan for the first attack was just as unusual. March around the city, play a song on trumpets, and wait to shout. There can be no question that in both cases Israel played a part in the victory God provided. Their faith had to be accompanied with work. But it was, and always will be, the work of God that brings victory.  The question we need to answer is; what strange command has God given you before you will have victory.
