Here is today’s Bible reading: Joshua 5:1-7:15; Luke 15:1-32; Psalm 81:1-16; Proverbs 13:1.

Joshua 6:15-16 (NIV)
On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. [16] The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!

What if Joshua and the Israelites had only done this for six days?  They would have been right on the verge of the miracle and never experienced it.  Their faithful obedience and perseverance opened the door to God’s miraculous intervention.  If you are ready to give up, don’t quit.  You may be right on the verge of the miracle.  Faithfully obey and persevere.
