Call UsSometimes You Need To Be Quiet – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional February 5th
(Create Excellent Habits)
TO THE BIBLE: Joshua 6:10
“And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.”
LET’S TALK
A phone with low battery can’t power your apps properly. If you keep talking doubt, it’s like draining your battery faster.
But staying quiet and charging up with God’s Word is like plugging into power by the time you need to act, you’re at 100% and ready to go!
When God sent the children of Israel to bring down the walls of Jericho, He gave them the strategy. He said to them, “Go around Jericho once every day for seven days.”
He also instructed them through Joshua to stay quiet. He didn’t want anyone doubting or asking, “Do you think these walls will fall down? They’re so thick!” No; He commanded absolute silence.
From the time they left their homes until they returned, they were to say nothing for the first six days as they marched round Jericho.
On the seventh day, they were to go around the city seven times, and on the seventh lap, the priests were to blow the trumpet, and after that, everyone was to shout!
They did as God instructed, and though they hadn’t any equipment to bring down those walls, the walls fell down flat nevertheless.
God instructed them to be quiet until the seventh day because He didn’t want them speaking unbelief that would nullify their faith.
Sometimes, you need to be quiet. If you’re struggling to believe what God has said, don’t speak doubt. Instead, meditate on the Word, and build your faith.
This is one area where fasting is also very beneficial. Fasting will help you if you’re having difficulty believing something God has said to you.
When you fast, pray, and study the Word, it’ll speed up the process of developing your faith for that situation. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the strategies you give us to walk in victory. I declare that my heart is open to your Word, and I walk according to your instructions with faith and confidence. I walk by faith, not by sight. I build my faith and grow in your Word, making progress in every area of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

No!
I’m here!
Made a way
Don’t know how but you did it
Made a way
Standing here not knowing how we’ll get through this test
But holding onto faith you know best
Nothing can catch you by surprise
You’ve got this figured out and you’re watching us now
But when it looks as if we can’t win
You wrap us in your arm and step in
And everything we need you supply
You got this in control
And now we know that
You made a way
When our backs were against the wall
And it looked as if it was over
You made a way
And we’re standing here
Only because you made a way
You made a way
Now we’re here
Looking back on where we come from
Because of you and nothing we’ve done
To deserve the love and mercy you’ve shown
But your grace was strong enough to pick us up
And you made a way
When our backs were against the wall
And it looked as if it was over
You made a way
And we’re standing here
Only because you made a way
You made a way (you made a way)

And it looked as if (And it looked as if it was over)

And we’re standing here (And we’re standing here)
Only because you (Only because you made a way)

Only because you made a way
You move mountains
You cause walls to fall
With your power
