Joshua 11
Today's Scripture
The battle against the enemies of Israel continues. Joshua faces a mighty foe as kings and kingdoms of the north unite to wage war with Israel. But God gives Joshua the courage and strength to press on to victory--these wars are fought by the Lord--Joshua and his warriors are only instruments in his hands.
Finally, after defeating and destroying many cities and people, the land is at rest and at peace. It took a long time and a lot of hard work, but the battles were finally over.
We may be facing our own battles today--battles that seem to have no end. But with the Lord as our guide, we can persevere and follow his marching orders, till he leads us to a time of rest. We must only trust his command and follow his heart.
