Reflecting Upon Joshua 11 and 12
When God had told Joshua that he would lead the Israelites to victory and began conquering different regions, one of the kings heard what was happening and he sent urgent messages to the kings throughout the surrounding cities. The kings responded by mobilizing their warriors and uniting to fight Israel.
Joshua 11:4 tell us “…Their combined armies, along with a vast array of horses and chariots, covered the landscape like the sand on the seashore.”
Imagine being Joshua and being greeted by that many men! What incredible faith and trust he must have had to trust that God would deliver. Well, the Lord gave Joshua and his men VICTORY over their enemies…thirty one kings and their cities were destroyed!
When I think about that story I am reminded of the power and faithfulness of our Father! NOTHING IS TOO BIG FOR HIM! In fact, He says BRING IT ON! I know that no matter what comes up against us, MY GOD is so much bigger than that and nothing can stand in the way of His calling on my/our life. We all have a plan and purpose, and I know that as long as my eyes are focused on Him, nothing can ultimately stand in the way. Anytime the enemy tries to throw something at us, we have to recognize that it is only an opportunity for God to show His glory…and the bigger the obstacle…the more opportunity He has to be glorified!
The bigger the cross, the bigger the victory! We always have to remember that although we are in this world, we are not OF this world! We were bought at a price, and the Lord, our Father loves us and will always always provide and take care of us!
MIX HIS WORD WITH FAITH NOT WORRY
IF ALL AUTHORITY IS GIVEN TO JESUS THAN NO AUTHORITY IS GIVEN TO SATAN!
