God Is in Control


Joshua and the Children of Israel crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho.  Jericho stood between Israel and the Promised Land.  They would have to go through Jericho before they could enter into the land that God had given 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 …”  God 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 in God and let Him lead your life.

    I have her look up the verses in my little Bible that was a high school graduation present 25 years ago. It is helping her learn how to navigate through God's Word.
