“One of you routs a thousand, because the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised.”

[Joshua 23:10 NIV]

Devotional

As Joshua neared the end of his life, he reminded Israel of God’s faithfulness. They had seen victories far beyond their strength. Nations stronger and more numerous had fallen, not because of Israel’s might, but because the Lord Himself fought for them. This was not just history—it was testimony.

This verse is a reminder that God’s presence changes everything. By human calculation, one person against a thousand is impossible. But God’s promise transforms weakness into strength and impossibility into victory. When He is on your side, the odds no longer matter.

We often look at our challenges and feel outnumbered. The difficulties of work, family, health, or even our own fears can feel overwhelming. Yet Joshua points us back to the truth: it is not about our strength but God’s faithfulness. The same God who fought for Israel fights for His children today.

Reflection

You may feel outmatched, but you are never alone. God is with you, and His power is greater than anything that stands against you. Trust that He is fighting on your behalf, even in the unseen places.

Prayer

Father, thank You for reminding me that with You I am never outnumbered. Help me to rest in the promise that You fight for me. Strengthen my faith to trust Your power when I feel weak or overwhelmed.
