Joshua 8:3-8 Resources

 3So Joshua and the whole army set out to attack Ai. Joshua chose 30,000 mighty men of valor and sent them out at night 4with these orders: “Pay attention. You are to lie in ambush behind the city, not too far from it. All of you must be ready. 5Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them. 6They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we flee from them, 7you are to rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand. 8And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”

Resources 

“This time Joshua did not send 3,000 men as before (Joshua 7:4). Now he sent 30,000 mighty men of valor. When we need to regain victory, we must use every resource, and the best resources for victory.”

“Though God had given Joshua the general plan in Joshua 8:2, He left it up to Joshua’s experience and sanctified common sense to lay out the specific plan of battle.” (Guzik)

Do we use all the resources that the Lord has given us? I think not! How many times do we wait on the Lord for a clear and positive sign when He already gave us one in scripture?

Mark 16:5 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

“We need to regain victory, we must use every resource, and the best resources for victory.” FOR HIS KINGDOM!

Are you using the best resources and preaching the gospel to your family, children and grandchildren?
