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
