Gods Plan

I think a lot of us today are in the same situation that Joshua is in. Ok so maybe we don’t have 5 kings coming together to try and destroy us, but I would be willing to bet that in this time that our nation is in there seems to be something like 5 things all blowing up and attacking us right now. Whether it be risk of losing our jobs, maybe our house is being foreclosed on, maybe you have a spouse that decided to up and leave right in the middle of all of this trouble, or maybe a loved one that has just been put in the hospital. Whatever it is, sometimes the pressure of whatever it is can seem like the whole world is coming against you, or everything is blowing up on you. I love Joshua’s response. You notice as you go along during the reading that Joshua never even considered giving up, and how he basically turned to face whatever giant that was coming his way head on, and then God would say, “do not fear, for I will hand them over to you”. Maybe we should take not of this. Whenever trouble comes our way and the devil is throwing whatever he can at us, I don’t think God wants us to just roll over and expect him to handle it. Whatever it is we have to turn and face it for what it is and rely on God to see us through it. No matter what the situation is, nothing is too big for God to handle. And you can see the results of what happens when we turn and face it. With God on our side there is no battle to big, no army too great, and surely no devil in hell strong enough to stand against God or his children, especially when there is a plan and a purpose for God’s children.
