Joshua 2:23-24
“all the people are melting in fear because of us.”
“all the people are melting in fear because of us.”
I find this piece of scripture interesting and a good reminder to keep my hope and focus not on what I can accomplish in my own strength, but in what God can do in and through me.
The original group in the dessert did not enter the promised land because they were scared and did not trust in the promise that the Lord had given them. As the second generation is ready to possess the land, they see that even 40 years later, the people of Jerhico are scared of them, because they know God maker of heaven and earth is on their side.
I find this fascinating and humbling to know that the fight was already won forty years earlier, but because of a fear, God’s people completely missed out on their blessing.
The reality was that the people of Jerhico were melting in fear because they knew that God was the defender of the people of Israel. They knew that God would perform mighty works on behalf of his people. They knew the power of God more then the follows of God did.
We often shake and tremble at what God has called us to do because our perspective is clouded. Our perspective gets skewed with the thinking that we ourselves must posses all knowledge and strength ahead of time to accomplish the task, the dream or the vision that we have in our hearts. If the story of Jericho tells us anything at all, it should be that where God says go, God will make a way for you to go. Your never alone in your journey and it never has been and never will be about doing it in your own strength or intellect.
So what has God called you to do, what promise has He given you that you have not started to posses? What walls need to come down in your own life, to allow you to enter into all that God has for you today?
Believe God today and see yourself walk into your inheritance.
