Josh 2:11
And as soon as we had heard these things, our
hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because
of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
The inhabitants of Jericho found
themselves in a place of awe and reverence after hearing about the Lord
God. They had heard that the Lord had
dried up the Red Sea and that the Lord had fought for His people in the
wilderness. Because of what the Lord had
done for His people, the enemies of His people were weak and discouraged. Our God has done great things for us. Because of His great works, our enemies find
themselves confounded and lacking the confidence they often have in the
presence of those who do not have the Lord as their God. The enemy hears of these great works and our
God’s awesome power resonates through the spiritual kingdom. We might do well to praise Him today for the
seas He has parted in our lives so that we might avoid unnecessary intimidation
from our enemies.
