Keep Marching!

Joshua 6:2-5 ESV
[2] And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor. [3] You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days. [4] Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. [5] And when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, everyone straight before him.”

God gave us music for when the battles come. When the storms reach high and when darkness seems to encroach, God gave us a song. We have been given music that reminds us of gods holy power, his goodness, his grace, and the fact that he will never leave us.
Who would have thought that Jericho would be destroyed by music and a shout? God did. He knew it work, but it didn’t work the first time. It didn’t even work the second or the third time.I’m quite certain that by the time jerichos walls actually felt the people were starting to wonder at God’s plan. We all have a jericho, and we all have a weapon, and sometimes we wonder at God’s plan. But then we pick ourselves up, grab our instruments and march one more time, and that is the time when the walls fall. Turn your music up and keep marching.God will make a way.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
