And it happened, when Joshua was beside Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked. And, behold, there stood a Man in front of him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, Are You for us, or for our foes? And He said, No, but I have come as the Commander of the army of Jehovah. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth. Joshua 5:13-14. As a person Joshua, who was the commander in trouble was perplexed when he was moving towards the great city called Jericho.
Similarly we find often ourselves moving towards Jericho, highly perplexed in our minds waiting for manifestation of Christ’s grace on our life. One thing we have to clearly understand that why we march towards Jericho when our “MANNA†given from above is finished. “MANNA†means word of GOD i.e. Holy Bible, some times when we read word again and again but do not feel closeness we start to pray. The prayer phase leads to two things one is either it will open our spiritual eyes, or the other is we remain blind, deviated by the troubles, tensions, anxiety of our lives. Personal Obedience is mandatory steps to follow JESUS CHRIST.
Because the moment we start to experienced spiritual sight then, we not considering the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are not lasting, but the things which are not seen are everlasting. 2 Corinthians 4:18 We understand our purpose for stay on the EARTH i.e. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Corinthians 5:1.
So that is why King Solomon considered one of the most wise king on face of earth has written under the guidance of Holy Spirit i.e. The hearing ear and the seeing eye, Jehovah has made both of them. Proverbs 20:12.
We as an individual are liable to answer the most living highest Eternal GOD i.e. Jehovah.
GOD bless you !
