Joshua 10:29-43
Today's Scripture

Joshua and his army defeated and destroyed the armies of all the southern cities of Canaan. No survivors are left--everyone was killed, and the Lord fought for the Israelites.

It seems like a harsh way to come into a country and claim it as your own, but God has his purposes. Rather than focus on the destruction and killing, which we may not be able to understand, we should focus on God's mighty hand giving victory to his people when they completely trusted in him.

This same God that defeated the enemies of old can defeat enemies we face today. Our enemies may not be ones of flesh and blood--but can perhaps be self-doubt, jealousy, pettiness, unkindness, adultery, laziness, workaholism, or a number of other things. God wants us to seek after his heart and give us victory over evil. We just have to make him commander and chief of the army of our heart.
