III. Application
1. God’s way is not always logical to us. Marching around Jericho didn’t seem like the most
logical way to defeat the region’s stronghold, but it worked. Sometimes logic can be the enemy
of faith. There’s nothing wrong with logic unless your faith is in it over God’s providence.
2. Obedience to God may look stupid to the world. I’m sure that Jericho’s army wondered why
Israel was just marching around the city. Yet Israel’s obedience resulted in victory.
3. You are holy (if you’re a Christian-1Pet 2:4). Chris lives in you!!! (Gal 2:20)
