A War Already Won

"But the Lord said to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors. You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days. Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns. When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse, and the people can charge straight into the town.” (Joshua 6:2-5)




God told Joshua that the enemy way defeated
before the battle began! What confidence Joshua must have had as he went into battle! Christians also fight against a defeated enemy. Jesus defeated our enemy, Satan, when He died on the cross. Although we still fight battles every day and evil continues in the world, we have the assurance that the war has already been won.
