God seems to have an interesting methodology of doing just about everything.  It is not what would be the most logical to me.  This piece of history is one example where God asked His people to do something out of the ordinary, but when they obeyed, everything was perfect.  The city walls fell, the Israelites were able to storm the city and it was captured.

We need to be prepared to see what God is asking us to do.  It may not make sense to us feeble minded humans, but God is always in control.  He has a plan for our lives.  We simply need to obey Him in all that we do and we will be rewarded with the peace of resting in His plan.
