Jericho series: Day 6

Jericho series: Day 6

by Joel Howard

Today I packed my sword

in a bag while I thought I was unseen

Joshua saw me and then said,

"Nephew, what are you doing?"

"What if the Lord doesn't come through?"

I asked before we left home

"What if our God is silent

and another takes his throne?"

"That's my fear oft too, my friend,"

he said but took my sword

and returned it to my shelf

then we on horseback mounted forth

"The question has yet to be asked,"
he said, "and I ask you now, friend,

What if, on the contrary, God comes through!"

and with that our conversation ends
