Joshua 5:13-14 Now 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?”  (NIV)

At the time of the above passage, Moses had died and Joshua had taken over command of the nation of Israel.  Joshua was chosen by God to lead the people chosen by God into the Promised Land. Yet, here the very commander of God’s Army (which I assume to be the very Hosts of Heaven) said that he is neither for them or against them.

Guess what? God is not a Republican. Neither is God a Democrat. God is not even an American. God is not on Donald Trump’s side.  He is not opposed to Donald Trump. He expects us to be on His side.

In these troubled times, perhaps we need to do exactly as Joshua did, fall on our face and ask the God of Heaven, what message does He have for us.
