We are going to be looking at the characters and the circumstances that God used to instill courage in His people. Each week is a different story about how someone overcame impossible odds and what we can learn from it. A few are actually stories of defeat, but they can still be courageous stories if we will learn from them.
The story of Jericho was a test of obedience. But what if you are not obedient? How does that go? The little town of Ai on the crest of the hills is about to become a force to be reckoned with. Disobedience is like that. Sometimes our confidence is misplaced in that we are so sure of ourselves, when the only thing we can be sure of is God. Sin is deceptive; it will ambush you. We need to learn to turn the tables on the enemy. If we learn from our failures, they can teach us how to be victorious.
