The Wall !!
Devotional: “Walk It Out — Until the Walls Fall”
Scripture: Joshua 6:1–20
There’s a moment in every journey where God gives a strategy that doesn’t make sense to the natural eye. In Joshua 6, the walls of Jericho didn’t fall because Israel had the strongest army or the best tools. They didn’t fall because Israel pushed, pulled, or fought.
The walls fell because they obeyed.
God told Joshua and the people to march — quietly — for six days. Not complain. Not question. Not strategize a different route.
Just walk.
Just align.
Just obey.
And on the seventh day, when God said release the sound — they shouted, and the walls collapsed.
Sometimes God calls us into silent seasons of obedience before He calls us to shout in victory. Sometimes the assignment isn’t to fight the wall — it’s to walk around it until God moves.
As a nurse, I learned this in the hospital hallways. Some battles aren’t won by force or expertise. They’re won by discipline, obedience, and sensitivity to God’s instruction. And now as a businesswoman and mentor, I see the same principle — miracles flow through alignment. Breakthrough comes to the obedient.
When God gives an instruction, your breakthrough is not in the thinking, it’s in the walking. It’s in staying consistent even when it looks repetitive. It’s in holding your tongue when you want to speak. It’s in trusting God’s voice when your circumstances tell you otherwise.
Those walls in your life — emotional walls, financial walls, business barriers, generational strongholds — they don’t fall because you try harder. They fall because you surrendered the method to God and committed to His way.
This season isn’t about asking God to bless our plans. It’s about aligning to His. It’s about obedience that doesn’t flinch and faith that marches when it doesn’t make sense.
And when it’s your time — when God says shout — nothing and no one can keep your promise locked behind walls.
Reflection Questions
1. Where is God calling me to walk in obedience, even if the results aren’t visible yet?
2. Am I obeying fully or only obeying when the instructions make sense?
3. What “walls” am I believing God to bring down as I stay aligned?
Prayer
Father, align my steps with Your will. Teach me to obey without hesitation. Help me hold my peace where You call for silence, and give me boldness when You say speak. I trust You to bring down every wall standing between me and Your promise. Strengthen my faith to keep walking until the breakthrough comes. Create in me a clean heart and renew in me a right Spirit, In Jesus’ name, Amen.
