I find it hard at times to let someone else drive, to relax
and let them take the wheel, to not be in control, do you? That’s why Joshua
provides such a great example of someone who let someone else lead and because he
did, he was ready to drive when God asked him.
He had learnt some incredible lessons. He had shown courage,
character and competence when sitting in the second chair, not pushed his own
agenda, or undermined Moses in any way and had learnt to be obedient to God
which meant humility and faithfulness.
Thanks Carl for the reminder that Joshua had to dip his toe
in the water before the sea dried up and walk around a city blowing a trumpet
when everyone would have been hanging out of their windows thinking he was crazy.
But he did it, because God had promised and he believed.

| How are you blowin'? |
If you think you know the best plan, it’s time to think
again. Pick up God’s trumpet and blow it for all your worth, because His plans
for you are perfect and will lead to success.
Of course Joshua’s namesake, Jesus (Yahweh delivers), ‘humbled
himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross!’(Philippians 2:8)
It seems like it is the right way to live.
Possibilities or obstacles? Maybe some walls will come
tumblin’ down if you have the courage to play the trumpet God’s way today.
