When Faith Makes Sense

What and awesome week I have had. You don't wont to this coming series. I will be talking about Free to Be Me. 

Joshua 5:13-15 (King James Version)

 ¹³And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

 ¹⁴And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?

 ¹⁵And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Faith and Sense is not the same thing. It's an antonym. An antonym is two things that seem to contradict one another but in a real sense both are true in their own right. 

Faith makes sense when we get the Revelation of what God is saying. 

The backdrop is God had instructed Joshua that he was to take Jericho. But Joshua was trying to make sense of how this was going to happen. You see Jericho was a city that had walls that surrounded it. These walls were strong enough to hold chariot races on top of them. Joshua was thinking how can we take this city. He had faith in God, make did not have the revelation of who had given him the orders. 

God has the method and strategy to accomplish every goal in our life. When Joshua confronted Jesus-He is the captain of the Lord's army, he ask if He was for him or against him. Jesus replied neither, the reason is Christ never takes sides, He takes over. 

Joshua finally received the revelation of what to do. He realized that when God says something it will happen as long as we follow His will, with His way, and with His wisdom. Then faith will make sense. 

God Bless,
