There are times when there are more questions and answers. Times when the next move we must make just does not make sense and we doubt the instructions we have been given. There are seasons when there is no accounting for the storms and the madness that appears to have overtaken our days.
Joshua 6:2-3 (NIV)
“Then the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days.”
God instructed Joshua and his men to overtake Jericho, one of the oldest and most heavily fortified cities they would encounter. When He issued the peculiar battle plan He assured them they would not fail if they followed His words; he said the enemy was already defeated!
God tells us the same thing. Satan may be prowling like a roaring lion, he may be hiding around every corner, he may be putting doubts and worries in our heads, but he has already been defeated. We can take comfort in that fact and blow the trumpets of victory with all the confidence of a victor. There will still be battles to fight and hearts to claim for Christ, but the outcome of the final battle is assured.
