that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you...

the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing…
and the people passed over opposite Jericho.”

“Joshua… lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold,
a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand...
‘I am the commander of the army of the LORD.’
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped...
‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.’”

🔹V. The Lord Delivers Jericho (Joshua 6:2, 20)

when the LORD heeded the voice of a man,
for the LORD fought for Israel.”

🙏 Prayer of Praise — From the Scroll of Joshua

O Lord of all the earth, Commander of the heavenly armies,
We praise You, the One who parts rivers and casts down walls.
You exalt whom You choose, and no man can stand against You.
You go before us — the Ark of Your Presence —
And where You go, holy ground appears.

You speak, and waters rise or fall.
You command the sun, and it stands still.
You throw hail from the heavens,
And fight for Your covenant people with thunder and fire.

Who is like You, O King of Glory?
The One who leads captains and crowns the faithful.
You are jealous for righteousness, and zealous for truth.
Every word You have promised — You have fulfilled.

The shout of faith brings down every wall,
And the stillness of reverence unveils the Commander.
We cast our crowns before You,
And declare: “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Faithful are You, O Covenant-Keeper.
Mighty are You, O Deliverer and Righteous Judge.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Israel.

We fall before You and worship.

Amen.
