Joshua 21:44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

As a leader of the children of Israel, Joshua had many hard battles to face. But with God’s help, he was able to lead the nation in defeating its many enemies. Sin and its consequences reign in our world today. However, because Christ overcame sin and death by His death, burial, and resurrection, we can have victory in our lives.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Daily we fight many spiritual battles. Sometimes, we fight in prayer for the salvation of loved ones. Other times, we fight temptations that come our way, or we fight on behalf of our children as we seek to guide them to the Lord and His Word. The fight can seem long and hard. But, the victory is ours for the claiming through our Saviour.

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

What an encouragement to know that God gives us the help we need to live in a fallen world!

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Reflection—We have a greater power, motive, victory, and love. All OF the Lord Jesus.
