“And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?”
Joshua 5:14 KJV
Joshua had crossed the Jordan miraculously, the manna had stopped, he’d sent spies to Jericho who returned after making a pact with Rahab. The conquest of Jericho loomed large before Joshua when he had an encounter with the Commander of YHWH’s armies, the Lord Jesus Himself before His incarnation. Joshua asked if He was on his side or the enemies? Neither, He replied, saying that He had not come to take sides but to take charge. At once Joshua threw himself facedown to the ground and worshipped and said to Him that he would do whatever the Lord commanded. Then He gave Joshua a supernatural and illogical strategy for taking the city of Jericho. When God calls us to fulfill His purpose, let’s take sides with God Himself and worship Him facedown Who comes to take charge. The Lord Jesus has, through His Blood sacrifice and through our faith in the finished work of the Cross, come to take charge and give us a supernatural strategy to overcome the insurmountable. Our part is to worship Him facedown in humility and say, “let Your will be done”; and then obey Him. Thank You Jesus for taking charge as we humble ourselves before You. Amen!
