The Lord Strong and Mighty

 


Joshua and the Children of Israel crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho, a great fortified city of the Canaanite confederation.  Jericho stood between Israel and the Promised Land.  They would have to defeat Jericho before they could enter into the land that God had promised to them.  Joshua 5:13, 14 “And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship …”  The Lord God Almighty was there, not to help Joshua, but to take over for Joshua.  Hey, God doesn’t want to help you, God wants to take over for you.  If God is your co-pilot, you are in the wrong seat!  Move over and let God be the Pilot and you be the co-pilot.  Trust God and let Him lead in your life.
