God illumines our path

Joshua 10-12 Victory!

Over and over, God reminded Joshua not to be afraid but be strong and courageous, for He would be with him. When we believe God and obey God, we will be victorious over our three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. To do that, we must be in the Word and obey the Word just as Joshua did. That is one truth we should glean from these chapters. 

What enemy are you facing today? Will you be successful? The challenge is before us and we can be victorious when we  believe and obey these words: “Your Word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.” [Ps 119:11] 

The way through the valleys of despond is this: “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” [Ps 119:105] The enemy of our soul seeks to hide the path, but God’s light illumines the path to victory just as it did for Joshua. Maybe we need to pray these words when we fear the enemy! “O sun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon in the valley of Aijalon.”[Josh. 10:12]
