Joshua 6 - Joshua was obedient to God even if the command seemed absurd.
v.10 - Sometimes its best to keep your mouth shut until the right time to obtain victory (wisdom)
v.6 - take up the Ark of the Covenant (presence of God). Seek His presence.
v.27 - Joshua had favour with God & man.
v.25 - Rahab was spared according to the promise in Joshua 2:14
Psalm 9:11-20
SELAH - worth pondering in light of an election next weekend, considering an entire nation & its leadership.
v.15 - Lord, let that not be Australia!
Prov 3:5-6 Maxwell calls this the irony of spiritual leadership. In Prov 2:1-5 we are told to get understanding & wisdom & now are told not to lean on it apart from the Lord.
How should we think then?
- Think big - God's vision is usually bigger than ours
- Think of others
- Think continually-don't be satisfied with today's answers
- Think bottomline - results & fruit
- Think continual growth - keep improving
- Think without lines - let God outside of the box
- Think victory - we want God's rule to come to the earth
- Think intuitively - have a sense of what will work
- Think servanthood - serve & add value to people
- Think quickly - evaluate & see possible answers
