When I have a problem in my life; it can look as big as Jericho. The wall may look formidable; defying the prayers and petitions of many. In my waking moments I find myself going around and around my dilemma. It's easy to be so dominated by the challenge you face that yo just keep going--around and around--obsessed with it. God told Joshua to go around Jericho once every day (6:3). Then he was to return to camp and attend to other things. This helped me. I learned to discipline myself to go around my particular Jericho only once! True, there was an appropriate time for Joshua and his men to circumnavigate the city seven times (6:4-15). and there is an appropriate time for me to spend special effort in focused prayer about my difficulty. But I learned to wait for God to direct me into such a time. Joshua had company going around Jericho--the whole army! It's good to march with others. There's strength in the fellowship of believers who have the same focus and goals and who lend comfort and encouragement to each other. The priests carried the Ark of the Lord containing the two tablets of stone with the Ten Commandments inscribed b the finger of God (6:6). The Ark of the Lord represented the presence of Yahweh with his people and his word that must be obeyed. Each day as I went around my own Jericho: sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, I took the Ark with me reminding myself of God's presence and his word--a presence and word that had the power to pull down strongholds. The walls will crumble one day, and it will all be over. God will get the glory, and the hard marched in the heat of the day will be forgotten in the sweet taste of victory
