经文

约书亚靠近耶利哥的时候，看见一位手持拔出的刀站在他面前。他问：“你是帮助我们呢？还是帮助我们的敌人呢？”

那人回答：“不是的，我来是要作耶和华军队的元帅。”

于是约书亚俯伏在地，说：“我主有什么话吩咐仆人？”

灵修默想

约书亚正面对人生中最艰难的战役——耶利哥城。

他需要策略、需要力量、需要胜算。

在压力之下，他问出一个我们也常问的问题：

“你是站在我这边吗？”

但主的回答却完全颠覆人的期待：

“不是的，我来，是要作耶和华军队的元帅。”

换句话说：

关键不是神站在哪一边，而是我们是否站在神那一边。

神不是来支持人的计划，

神是来带领人进入祂的计划。

祂不是来为我们的想法背书，

祂是来让我们顺服祂的心意。

约书亚听见这句话后，立刻俯伏在地。

他不再问“你支持谁”，

而是问：

“我主有什么话吩咐仆人？”

这是顺服的姿态。

这是得胜的起点。

今日提醒

我们常在困境中祷告：

“神，请站在我这边。”

“神，请支持我的决定。”

“神，请让我的计划成功。”

但神更想问的是：

“你愿意站在我这边吗？”

“你愿意让我来带领吗？”

真正的平安不是来自神支持我的计划，

而是来自我进入神的计划。

真正的力量不是神站在我这边，

而是我站在祂那一边。

回应祷告

主啊，

我常急着要你支持我的想法，

却忘了你才是军队的元帅。

今天我愿意放下自己的判断、计划与焦虑，

不是求你站在我这边，

而是求你带领我站在你那一边。

愿你对我说的话，成为我前行的方向。

奉主名求，阿们。

Not “God Is on My Side,” but “I Am on His Side”

Devotional – August 1, 2026

Scripture

As Joshua approached Jericho, he saw a man standing before him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua asked him,

“Are you for us or for our enemies?”

He replied,

“Neither, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.”

Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground and said,

“What message does my Lord have for His servant?”

(Joshua 5:13–14)

⸻

Devotional Reflection

Joshua was about to face the greatest battle of his life—the fortified city of Jericho.

He needed a strategy, strength, and victory.

Under pressure, he asked a question that we often ask ourselves:

“Are You on my side?”

But the Lord’s answer completely changed his perspective:

“Neither. I have come as the Commander of the army of the LORD.”

In other words:

The real question is not whether God is on our side, but whether we are on His.

God does not come to support our plans.

He comes to lead us into His plan.

He does not endorse our ideas;

He calls us to surrender to His will.

When Joshua heard this, he immediately fell facedown in worship.

He no longer asked,

“Whose side are You on?”

Instead, he asked,

“What message does my Lord have for His servant?”

That is the posture of surrender.

That is where true victory begins.

Today’s Reminder

In difficult times we often pray:

“Lord, be on my side.”

“Lord, bless my decision.”

“Lord, make my plans succeed.”

But perhaps the Lord is asking us:

“Are you willing to be on My side?”

“Will you let Me lead?”

True peace is not found in God supporting our plans,

but in walking within His plan.

True strength is not that God stands with us,

but that we stand with Him.

⸻

Prayer

Lord,

Too often I ask You to support my plans, forgetting that You are the Commander.

Today I lay down my own ideas, plans, and anxieties.

I no longer ask You to stand on my side.

Instead, lead me to stand on Yours.

May Your voice guide every step I take.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
