Scripture Meditation No. 1611
AATHAVAN – Sunday, 06 July 2025
“By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.” (Hebrews 11:30 – KJV)
There is no life without problems. Obstacles and hindrances arise in everyone’s journey. But the way others handle them and the way we, as spiritual people, respond to them must be different. That is exactly what today’s meditation verse reminds us.
When the Israelites entered Canaan, the very first barrier they encountered was the massive wall of Jericho. Though God had promised Canaan to Israel, they still had to face many obstacles and go through a lengthy process to receive it. That was indeed God’s plan. This experience at Jericho stands today as a spiritual lesson for us.
According to archaeological findings, the dimensions of the wall of Jericho were approximately 12 to 17 feet in height and about 6 feet in width. For the Israelites of that time, scaling or breaking down such a large wall was utterly impossible. They had neither the power nor the tools. But God alone stood by them.
Yes, beloved, when we take God as our helper, what seems impossible becomes possible. The fall of Jericho’s wall clearly demonstrates this truth.
Moreover, that wall served as a reason for the Israelites to trust more deeply in God. In other words, no obstacle comes into our lives without God’s purpose. If we patiently depend on Him, we can overcome any barrier. This is the lesson God teaches us through this event.
Another vital truth is this: without God's help, we can accomplish nothing by our own strength. Our effort, our faith, and God's power—when combined—can produce mighty results. Yes, without God’s will and help, we cannot overcome life’s obstacles by mere human effort.
Finally, to receive God’s miracle, we must obey His Word without doubting. Walking around the wall of Jericho for seven days might have seemed meaningless or unnecessary to the people. “How can such a massive wall collapse just by walking around it?” they might have wondered. Yet that was the exact command God gave through Joshua.
Yes, beloved, when we obey God’s commands without doubt, He acts on our behalf.
On the seventh day, “the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” (Joshua 6:20 – KJV)
Yes, beloved, here are the truths today’s meditation teaches us:
Let us not be troubled by how big our problems and obstacles seem.
Obstacles never come without God’s will.
We must face them by seeking God’s help.
Let us cast down unbelieving thoughts and trust God’s Word, acting patiently.
Even in the midst of our troubles, let us praise and rejoice in God.
Yes, dear ones, this is the way to overcome the Jerichos that rise like walls at different stages of our lives. Let us submit to God with faith and hold on to Him continually.
