REFLECTION on JOSHUA 5:14

JOSHUA 5:13-7:26

REFLECTION
on JOSHUA 5:14

As Joshua approached the biggest battle of his life, he encountered God, fell in worship before him, and surrendered his plans.

That surrender led to a stunning victory at Jericho. This is the paradox.

Victory comes through surrender.

Surrender doesn’t weaken you; it strengthens you.

Surrendered to God, you don’t have to fear or surrender to anything else.

William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, said, “The greatness of a man’s power is in the measure of his surrender.”

Surrendered people are the ones God uses …

So give it all to God:

your past regrets,

your present problems,

your future ambitions, .

your fears, dreams, weaknesses, habits, hurts, and hang-ups. Put Jesus Christ in the driver’s seat of your life and take your hands off the steering wheel.

Don’t be afraid; nothing under his control can ever be out of control.

Rick Warren
