Joshua 10
VICTORY

It was one thing for Joshua to lead the children of Israel against Jericho or Ai. These were individual cities with limited numbers of people in them. Even though Jericho may have been big, it was still only one city with its armies against the people of Israel. But it was quite another thing when the five kings of the Amorites joined forces against the Gibeonites and Israel. This was now a new challenge. The numbers and strength of the enemy armies had increased greatly. Not only that, but Joshua and Israel were on the back foot. They were unfamiliar with the terrain, and they were not even in the right place at the right time. They marched all night to be in the battle while their enemies were getting rest and sleeping. Then they joined in battle the next day – for an extra-long day of fighting.

It was the LORD that helped Israel with the battle of Jericho. It was he that gave them the victory over Ai. And whether their opponents were big, numerous or strong, it was still God’s battle. Joshua was confident of victory because the LORD was in control.

We too can be confident that God will be with us as we live our lives for him. Whether our trials are big or small, or whether it seems like life or everyone around us is ganging up on us, God is in control. With God, we will be victorious in the things that really matter.

May God’s victory be ours today.

With love in our Lord,
Robert
