And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.”   Joshua 10.8

When we obey God, He drives our steps and leads us to the place where He has prepared for us, in order to bless us. Thus, there is nothing to fear; we must only follow His orientations. The enemy can do as he wishes, because the Lord has provided us beforehand the reply we should give him. Whoever lives to serve the Most High discovers that he will be kept safe under His shadow.

Apparently, there was no sense in engaging in a battle, for the inhabitants of Gibeon had deceived Joshua, and the man of God had told them that Israel would be in peace with them and would preserve their lives. Let the Holy Spirit guide you and you will never regret what you said or did. After all, He would not lead you to do something if that was not His will. The Most High knows how to conduct His people in triumph.

Now, when the Gibeonites were attacked by a confederation of kings – who undoubtedly would attack Israel later –, they asked Joshua to rescue them, for they were his servants. Our fame in Christ must make many people be aggregated to us, in order to have a little freedom, peace, and protection.

From what the Lord said to Joshua and what He did in combat, He declared that the battle belonged to Him. Therefore, Joshua did not have to fear the power of the confederate kings. Never fear the threats of the devil, for our God is Almighty, absolute in warfare. There is no way how Hell can prepare any weapon that defeats the Lord or His power. We are on the winning side. 

The battle became so serious, that God Himself entered in the fight for Israel. This teaches us that we do not know why sometimes we are drawn towards specific situations. However, if the Most High is guiding our steps, why should we try to understand what happens to us during our walk? The Lord, Supreme Commander of heavenly forces, will never abandon us. With Him, we will never be defeated.

Joshua prayed to God, who fulfilled His Word, which says: Your right hand shall teach You awesome things (Ps 45.4). After feeling what he should do, Joshua gave an order that stopped the entire solar system for almost a day. There are moments of faith when we are used in such a great way, that we get to the conclusion that only the Lord could have done such a thing for us. Undoubtedly, He has prepared good surprises for you.

If the Gibeonites had not been cunning to obtain Joshua’s promise and spare their lives, we would not have had this experience that increases our faith in such a great measure. Never judge a champion of the Lord when he is used to operate the divine justice. In eternity, we will see how God did special things in our favor.

In Christ, with love,

Lord! What a battle! How you used Joshua! When we hear about what You did in that day, we understand that You will do the same for us. We want to learn wonderful things that You will teach us when we fight in Your Name.

The confederate kings did not know that You are a righteous God and fulfill what You promise. They attacked with a large army to make other people fear, thinking that such an act would be a good message for those who only listen to You.

May this story serve as a lesson for us never to be afraid or desperate whenever Hell brings a confederation of demons to attack us! You will never leave us or forsake us. Amen!
