Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD walked on, and they blew the trumpets continually. And the armed men were walking before them, and the rear guard was walking after the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets blew continually. And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days.
(Joshua 6:12-14 ESV)
Every Morning Joshua, the priests, and the troops got up early and marched around the city of Jericho. It must have seemed rather odd to be sure. Why are we getting up early to walk just once? Why do the same thing every day? Because it is through this daily, seemingly strange obedience and trust that puts us where God wants us, when God wants us, for the big blessings He's waiting to give us. This is the way He wants us to walk - sometimes it seems like walking in circles, getting nowhere, over and over again. But the day is coming when He will bless our socks off, because we walk with Him every morning, over and over again.
