“One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.”
Joshua 23:10-11 KJV
Joshua tells the Israelites, “for Yahweh your God fights for you as He promised He would! That is why just one of you causes a thousand of our enemies to run away. Above else, keep watch over your hearts, so as to always love Yahweh your God.” To those under the law, Moses had said, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart”. Joshua reiterated it. So much more is for those who have been set free to follow Jesus Christ, our Beloved. He has completely destroyed the enemy and now wants us to declare the victory of the Cross over any and every enemy against us. That’s why, in Christ, serving God must be based on loving Him with all our hearts. Amen!
