Joshua went up to [the angel] and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the LORD…” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence – Joshua 5:13-14
We start seeing life from an “Us vs. Them” perspective and when it doesn’t go well ask God, “Who’s side are you on, anyway?!
His answer is always the same, “Neither!” God is not obligated to defend our views, causes, or desires. He has his own agenda which is always right, honest, good, and true without regard to whose side it’s on.
Joshua quit asking God to be on his side and, instead, choose to be on God’s.
Sound Bite: The right question is NOT if God is on our side but if we are, really, on his.
