Jeremiah 15:16 (CSB)

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became a delight to me and the joy of my heart.

Joshua 6:1-5 (CSB)

1 Now Jericho was strongly fortified because of the Israelites — no one leaving or entering.

2 The Lord said to Joshua, “Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its best soldiers over to you.

3 March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.

4 Have seven priests carry seven ram’s-horn trumpets in front of the ark. But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the rams’ horns.

5 When there is a prolonged blast of the horn and you hear its sound, have all the troops give a mighty shout. Then the city wall will collapse, and the troops will advance, each man straight ahead.”

Obedience Will Test You in Three Ways: 

1.The Test of Priorities

Joshua 6:2 (CSB)

2 The Lord said to Joshua, Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its best soldiers over to you.

Matthew 6:31-34 (CSB)

31 So don’t worry, saying, What will we eat?  or What will we drink?  or What will we wear?

32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

34 Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

2. The Test of Practice

Joshua 6:3 (CSB)

March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.

Philippians 4:9 (ESV)

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

3. The Test of Praise

Joshua 6:4-5 (CSB)

4 But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the rams’ horns.

5 When there is a prolonged blast of the horn and you hear its sound, have all the troops give a mighty shout. Then the city wall will collapse, and the troops will advance, each man straight ahead.

Revelation 4:10-11 (ESV)

10 They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

11 Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.
