Beloved, let us search our hearts deeply and ask ourselves what Joshua asked the angel of the Lord. Ask, Am I truly on God’s side or against HIM. Not just in words only, but do my thoughts, reactions, moods or attitudes, stubbornness to change, pouting, complacency or inaction, vengeful motives, anger or animosity, malice or grudges held, unforgiveness in mind and so on reflect God or godliness? So really think, are you on God’s side? If so, then follow the commands God has given. Live and fight for God alone, not your will, but for HIS will. Is HE calling you to worship or praise? Is HE calling you to bow down in surrender to HIM? Is HE calling you to action to bring light to a dark and crooked generation? Whatever HE commands, don’t hesitate, do it!
Joshua 5:13-15
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”
14So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”
15Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.
