Praise to the CAPTAIN of the HOSTS
“…. ‘I indeed come now as CAPTAIN OF THE HOSTS of the Lord.’
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, ‘What has my lord to say to his servant?’ The CAPTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOSTS said to Joshua, ‘Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.’ And Joshua did so.”
Do you have a whopper of a problem? Perhaps you’re even where the Lord has led you, but the situation seems more than you can handle. When Joshua found himself in a tough place, the Lord appeared to him as Captain of the Lord’s host. Joshua bowed down and said, “What has my lord to say to his servant?” The Lord told Joshua that the place he was standing was holy ground; then told him what to do. Isn’t that the position each of us needs to take; one of asking our Lord to speak to us and tell us what to do? Let’s be wise, listen, and obey. If we do, the enemy will not defeat us.
CAPTAIN of the HOSTS, we bow before You and praise You. Speak to our heart and mind. Tell us what to do.
