Proverbs 21:22 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings down the trusted stronghold.” (Proverbs 21:22 NKJV)

Reflecting this passage brings to remembrance the confrontation with highly fortified Jericho that Joshua and the Israelites supernaturally engaged as they take possession of the promise land. They faced the mighty wall of the city of Jericho. By wisdom they listened and follow God's humanly unbelievable way to scale the wall by merely marching silently around it for 7 days, then shout on the seventh day. They did and the wall crumbled. They effortlessly walked in and annihilated all the inhabitants who trusted in their wall, except Rahab the prostitute and her family. She was wise to put her trust in the Almighty God (Joshua 6:1-23).


Victory is in following and depending on the Spirit of the Lord. He guides us by the wisdom of His Word. It is written: “So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.” (Zechariah 4:6 NIV)

As children of the Most High God, by grace through faith in CHRIST Jesus, it is wise to stay in His presence, in our rests and/or in our battles. We have His covenant promise. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper,..” Says the Lord.”(Isaiah 54:17a NKJV)

God said to Joshua and to us all, as well, “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Joshua 1:5 NIV)

Apostle Paul declared, this truth and promise we must stand on: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
