Initially I thought that I would not comment specifically on the passage of scripture that I will now use for today's short thoughts. In Hebrews 11:30 the author references one of the more famous Bible stories when he writes, "By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been circled for seven days". As I thought about this verse a while longer, I sensed God speaking to me about an important truth found here. What initially was a verse I was not going to comment on at all, became one that I felt necessary to do so.
It is really just a reminder of a great truth about God that most believers have already come to know. There are times when God accomplishes His will in ways that seem beyond human reasoning. He seems to do so more often than not. We should not be alarmed when we find that God's ways of accomplishing a particular matter is out of line with the conventional ways of men. His ways are only bound by His divine attributes. The forces of nature that He created do not bind His ways. His ways cannot be bound by academics or human intellect. They are not bound by political correctness. They are not bound by man's own assumptions.
Oh, what a privilege is ours to know the One who is Creator and Sovereign. Perhaps He will not ask you to march around the walls that you come upon in this life and blow a trumpet and shout a great shout for those walls to fall down. But as you place your faith in Him, He may bring down those walls you encounter in ways that defy human logic. The One who walked on water and caused the gale force winds and breaking waves to be still with a word, is for us. May we grow to trust the ever faithful One more and more and rejoice in His glorious ways!
