Joshua, Chapter 11, Verse 6
The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for by this time tomorrow I
will present them slain to Israel. You must hamstring their horses and burn
their chariots.”
The enemy was defeated;
why destroy their horses and chariots? Horses and chariots were the tanks of that
time. God knows the human heart we tend
to trust in our human strength, or our clout, or our wealth, or weapons. God knows
and He wants us to trust in Him not any of these things. Even to this very day
we have not learned this lesson we in America have learned to trust in the
strength of our Army; which is the greatest Army in the world and have
forgotten the true basis of our strength which is printed on our money: In God
We Trust. Many people in high offices like to play the prophet: but “A wise
person is superior to a prophet” (Bava Basra 12a) Think-a prophet can see the
future but a wise person can see the present. God asks us to be present to each
other each and every day. Live in the Present!
Words of wisdom Saint
Teresa of Avila:
“I am afraid that if we begin to put
our trust in human help, some of our Divine help will fail us.”
“The most potent and acceptable prayer
is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don’t mean it must immediately
fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects [are] those that are followed
up by actions—–when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really
strives for it. “
“You pay God a compliment by asking
great things of Him.”[1]
