Joshua Fought the Battle At Jericho

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho

and the walls came a-tumbling down

You may talk about your men of Gideon

You may talk about the men of Saul

But there's none like good old Joshua

at the battle of Jericho (that mornin')

Up to the walls of Jericho

They marched with spears in hand

"Come blow them ram horns," Joshua said

"'Cause the battle is in our hands."

Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow

The trumpets began to sound

Joshua commanded the children to shout

and the walls came a-tumblin' down (that mornin')

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho

and the walls came a-tumbling down

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho

and the walls came a-tumbling down

Changing and Growing

God uses our carnality to draw us closer to Himself.

~ Chip Ingram

This is one of many encouraging statements from Chip, that reassures me that it's okay to be me - God is still in control - especially when I lose it. Scripture in Romans 8 tells us that all things work together for good to those that love God, and also that nothing can separate us from God. Elsewhere in the New Testament is says that God uses evil for good - He uses it to develop our character into a reflection of His Son. He uses the frustrations of humanity to drive us to our knees which drives us to His throne, where we find pardon and acceptance, and hear the words, go and sin no more.
