Joshua chapter 11 is about faith in the face of overwhelming odds. As Israel faces their most formidable enemy yet—a coalition of northern kingdoms equipped with horses and chariots, the ancient equivalent of tanks—God's command remains unchanged: Do not be afraid. What makes this passage so compelling is that God never denies the reality of the threat. But the issue is never the threat we see today, it's the idol we are tempted to trust in tomorrow. It forces us to look at our own lives and ask, "What are my chariots?" What do I fear today, and am I allowing that to drive my decisions? And, what am I tempted to trust in tomorrow more than God?
