Joshua got his question wrong!

Sometimes we often ask ourselves the question: "Who's side is God on?" Or we make the statement: "God's on my/our side!"

I was struck yesterday, while reading Joshua 5 that his question to the Angel of the lord was wrong. He asked who's side was the angel on. Of course the answer was neither! Joshua needed to ask himself who's side he was on. We find Joshua falling on his face as the Angel gives his response, which includes telling him he's on holy, set apart, ground.

Joshua realized that even though he was the leader of a great army, he in fact needed to get in line. God is the boss and we need to make sure we are on his side, it's not about God joining our team, or backing us, or gaining his support. We join his team, we support what he's doing, WE BACK HIM! Even though God was not for either army, he delivered Jericho into the hands of Joshua's army.

all the fun of the fair

I'm feeling kinda chuffed. I've managed to update our website which I run off our laptop. It only took me a few months and countless hours! And even though I've updated it it's still not perfect! But it looks totally new. It reminded me of the work God is doing in my life. It takes a long time. Every now and then you think you've got it, for another glitch to rear it's ugly head. But it's a labor of love, one which leaves you looking brand spanking new! Check it out, you can also find our delayed winter newsletter in the news section: www.tomandjo.org
