Today’s Most Important Challenge is…
- Practicing graciousness
- By embracing my identity in Christ
- Instead of my subconscious fears
Immanuel Approach Memo
Continued from Well-Ordered
I am… assaulted.
Though I am alone
Unarmored and unarmed
The enemy city
Is threatened by my very size
I do not resist.
They are like sheep
Without a shepherd
Besides
They have lived in fear of my army
And therefore Jesus
As long as I can remember
I owe this to them
And more importantly
Him
I look for Jesus.
He says:
“Don’t worry
I got this
I got you!”
They bind me in chains.
I am dragged before
The altar of their gods
And laid upon it
Their high priestess
Pulls out
A beautifully polished knife
And plunges it…
Into my heart!
To be continued
Reflection
I feel…
- Christlike
- Ready
- Sacrificed
- Forgiven
Scripture
At dawn, when the king of Ai saw the Israelites, he and his army rushed out to fight. They ran to attack Israel at a predetermined place en route to the Arabah, not knowing that an ambush had been set against them behind the city. Joshua and all the main fighting force fled toward the wilderness as though they were being overcome. Joshua’s tactic drew all of Ai’s reinforcements out of the city, and they set off in hot pursuit of Joshua and his men. Not a man remained in Ai or in Bethel who did not go out in pursuit of Israel, leaving their city undefended.
Joshua 8:14-19 TPT
Then Yahweh spoke to Joshua and said, “Now, take the spear in your hand and point it toward Ai, for I will hand the city over to you!” So Joshua pointed his spear toward the city, and when Joshua gave this signal, all the men waiting in ambush behind the city jumped up from their position and poured into Ai. They quickly captured it and set it on fire.
