And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?” Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so. (Joshua 5:13-15)Joshua is going into a foreign land and has trepedations. The Lord of the Armies appears to comfort and assure him. We see Jesus accepting the worship of Joshua and like Moses, he is instructed to take off his sandal since he stands upon holy ground.
We must know that Jesus is not merely with us, but fights for us! This alone is assuring. We must allow Him to take control. He is already present and waiting.
Lord, be my Jehovah Nissi!
