Do You Recognize Him

Will you recognize the Lord when you see him?

In Joshua 5:13-15 Joshua met a man and asked him if he was for him or for his enemy and the man said neither I am the commander of the Lords Army. How many times do we meet the Lord and don’t recognize him? We need to be aware of the Lords presence so we can know when we meet him.

In Joshua 6:1-17 In this scripture we see that the Lord tells Joshua to walk around the city. He doesn’t want them to charge the city, he is told to walk around the city once a day for six days and on the seventh day seven times and then yell.

What would of happened if Joshua hadn’t listened to the angel of the Lord? Joshua didn’t argue with God, he didn’t complain and say why do we have to do it that way. He listened and then he went and told the people this is the way God wants us to do it. When they did it that way God destroyed the city.

We need to recognize the Lord and listen and then do exactly as He commands us to do. I think just like Joshua we all have jobs that God is wanting us to do. It may be leading people or taking care of people or praying for people. But whatever the job is first we have to recognize Him. Just like the scriptures say His sheep know their masters voice. Do you know your masters voice? Are you one of the Lords sheep?

If you are, then listen to what He is telling you and then act on it. We can listen all day but if we don’t put it into practice it will never happen, then the battle will be lost.

First: Listen to God and recognize His voice.

Second: Act on what He is telling you.

Third: Believe that it is going to happen.

Joshua and the people of Israel believed God was going to give them the city by doing exactly what God said to do.

So like Joshua, we have battles, are we listening to the Angel of the Lord’s army and doing what He instructs us to do? Or are we griping and complaining that it is to hard or we saying we are not sure if it is God at all? Let’s recognize God when He is giving instructions and follow exactly and have faith that the battle is going to be won just as God has said.

God Bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand.
