The End of Self
Don’t be afraid; just believe.
- Mark 5:36
In the book of Joshua, God told the children of Israel to march for seven days
and then the walls of Jericho would fall down.
Why seven days? Because God was trying to tell the children of Israel that it is
only when you come to the end of yourself, your strength and your abilities,
will you see the hand of God move on your behalf.
Is that your case today? You have done everything you possibly can but you still
have no breakthrough. That is good news!
Why? When you get to the end of yourself, when you understand that the doctor
can’t help you, and the lawyer doesn’t have your answer, when your husband has
walked out the door, and there’s nothing in the cupboard to feed your
children, you know at that moment your trembling hand is going to reach out
for a hand that is bigger than yours.
Do just that today—reach out for his nail-scarred hands. Do not look at your
circumstances and cave in!
Joshua 6:16 says, “The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet
blast, Joshua commanded the people, ‘Shout! For the Lord has given you the
city!’”
Trust in the Lord and you will see things beyond what you could ever imagine!
