and we can do it. But how?” Hence God’s insistence on being strong, courageous, and observing the laws of God. Joshua was so
obedient and believed God’s promise of success so much that later in Chapter 5 after they had crossed the Jordan river, the
Commander of the Army of the Lord turned up, to give the final boost to Joshua; and even before Joshua knew who He was, Joshua
was ready to fight Him. Remember what the Lord had told him as the assignment was being given, “… no man shall be able to stand
before you…” So in Chapter 5, Joshua faces the test of faith. God had just told him that no one could stand before him, so who is this
that has dared to stand and with a drawn sword? Doesn’t he realize I (Joshua) am a man with God’s backing? Then the revelation
happened and the worship Joshua did was to the Lord.
When you are walking in your calling and you have believed it, God will cause you to meet with the greatest in that field. See the
Lord’s words, “as Commander of the Army of the Lord I have now come”. God knew He could trust Joshua to carry the assignment
to completion.
There are many more examples we can draw from the Bible about the effect of not running from God’s call. The question remains –
can God trust you to take on the assignment or will you choose to take the deceptive ticket?
