In politics, sports, or business, many tend to think God is either with our side or against us. In business, when we’re competing to land a big sale or contract, we may assume God wants us to win just because we are one of His children.
In Joshua 5, Joshua saw an angel. Joshua asked the angel if he was with Israel or against them.
In verse 14, the angel responded, “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?”
God is neither for us or against us! He expects us to choose His side and will, and align our life accordingly.
