There's a story in the Old Testament that you're probably familiar with it's about the fall of Jericho and in Joshua chapter 6 verse 2 we read then the Lord said to Joshua see I have delivered Jericho into your hands along with its king and its fighting men so Joshua received a promise of God he received the promise that Jericho will be delivered into their hands and along with that promise he also received a call to action a call to obedience and as we continue reading we see that that action is that the army is meant to walk around the walls of Jericho every day for six days then on the seventh day they're meant to do it seven times and once they hear the long blast of the trumpets the army is supposed to shout out together and the walls of Jericho will fall and the army can go straight in and that's exactly what happened that's exactly what happened so God gave this promise to Joshua and again with it he gave the call to action and in this case it was a call to consistent action it wasn't something that was to happen just one time it was supposed to happen every day over the course of seven days and oftentimes I think we receive a promise of God we hear a promise from God and we immediately start looking for it and expect it to happen like that but I believe there are times where we're meant to pause and say okay God I hear you I hear the promise and what is my part to play in this what is my call to action in this and that's the question I want to leave with you today is that if there is a promise of God over your life is there also a call to action that he's given you is there also a call to obedience that requires you to be consistent because I believe that breakthrough does lie on the other side of your obedience it lies on the other side of your consistency and maybe you have been obedient maybe you have been consistent you're still waiting for that breakthrough I want to encourage you don't lose hope God is with you every step of the way and his promises will come to pass on the other side of your obedience so if you find yourself in that place today maybe you are waiting you're still waiting you're still believing for a breakthrough please let me know send me a message let me know what it is I'd love to know what's going on in your world and I want to pray with you stand with you and believe in the breakthrough with you because I truly believe that that breakthrough is coming on the other side of your obedience in Jesus
