Courage isn’t easy to maintain when we think of how many setbacks we have long the way.  Shortly after their victory over Jericho, Joshua and the Israelites faced unexpected obstacles that may feel familiar to us today.

God’s victory for Joshua and the Israelites over the city of Jericho is a great example to us that if it is God’s Will, it will have to be God’s Way.

Joshua’s strange encounter in Joshua 5 teaches us how to prepare to take Courage over Fear in our own spiritual battles. 

Joshua and the Israelites were commanded to pile up stones at the site where God brought them across the Jordan River.  What was this strange practice and how does it inform us about our Christian journey today?
