If I think I climb better than others
It is because I cheat
And step on their heads

#Pride #Contempt

MIC Check

Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

  • Confessing my sins
  • Such that we become godlier

Immanuel Approach Memo

Continued from Unshrinking

I am… bait.

Swollen with the new names
Of each reconciled part of me
I am an easy target

To see
To hit
To kill

I look for Jesus.

He says:

“Welcome to my world!”

And gestures
To the enemy city
My army
Was supposed to take
But had been avoiding

Jesus embraces me.

He says:

“Do not fear
Those who can destroy the body
Fear God
With an undivided heart
And all will be well

The He sends me…

To my death!

To be continued

Reflection

I feel…

  • Doomed
  • Not quite fear
  • Chosen
  • Christlike
  • Awestruck
  • Valiant

Scripture

Joshua and his entire army set out to attack Ai. He chose thirty thousand valiant warriors and sent them ahead by night with these instructions:
“Now pay attention. Set an ambush behind Ai, but don’t hide very far away. Stay alert and ready for battle! I’ll lead the rest of the army and make a direct assault on the city, and when they come out to fight us, we’ll flee from them as we did the first time. When this happens, they’ll say to themselves, ‘Look! They’re running away from us, just like last time!’
And they’ll keep chasing us until we’ve lured them away from the city. While we’re running away from them, jump up from your hiding place, race into Ai, and seize it. Yahweh, your God, will deliver the city into your hands! When you’ve captured the city, set it on fire.
Now that you have your orders, go and do as Yahweh has commanded!”
Joshua then sent them off, and they proceeded to take up a concealed position west of Ai, between Ai and Bethel, while Joshua spent the night with the rest of the troops.
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭8‬:‭3‬-‭9‬ ‭TPT‬‬
