Friday

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us, or, for our enemies?” “Neither, he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell face down to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?”

The commander of the Lord’s army replied, Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Joshua 5:13-16.

Saturday

For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”

Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?

And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”

Hebrews 1:5-6.

Conclusion

Joshua brought the Israelites into the promised land and God and his Son, Jesus, want to take you and me into their heavenly kingdom. 

The Lord has demonstrated time and time again that you are precious to Him. 

Are you positioned on the side of the LORD, so that He can deliver you into the heavenly Canaan.

Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: 

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

Hebrew 4:7.
