DAILY REFLECTION

“By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.”Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭30‬ ‭

God often leads us in ways that feel slow, unusual, or beyond our understanding. Yet in those moments, He is shaping our faith — preparing us to witness the miracle that only He can bring.

For nearly thirty years, the Berlin Wall stood as a fortress of division and oppression. To the world, it was immovable. To many, it was impossible. But countless Christians and churches — on both sides of the wall — refused to surrender to despair. They prayed faithfully, gathered peacefully, and held fast to the conviction that God could do what politics and power could not.

Then, on November 9, 1989, the impossible happened. The wall crumbled — not by armies or violence, but through the quiet strength of persistent prayer, peaceful resistance, and the courage of ordinary believers who trusted in an extraordinary God.

Just as the walls of Jericho fell at God’s appointed time, so too did the Berlin Wall collapse — reminding the world that no barrier is too strong, no division too deep, and no impossibility too great for the power of faith.

Hebrews 11:30 calls us to trust God fully, obey Him completely, and persevere patiently — because what looks impossible to us is never impossible to Him. 

“The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible. “ —Charles Kingsleigh.
