Put Your Foot On It

In this Joshua 10 devotional, we are reminded that God has given us precious promises. Joshua 10:24-25 shows us how to take hold of them by faith.

Therefore, because every promise of God in Christ is yes and amen, we can walk in courage, freedom, healing, and victory. We do this by standing firmly on what He has already spoken.

Joshua 10 Devotional Lesson: Courage to Stand on God’s Promises

First, in Joshua 10, Joshua was on a mission to take the land God had promised. He marched all night from Gilgal to Gibeon and caught the armies of the five kings by surprise. When the kings fled and hid in a cave, Joshua told his men to seal the entrance with large stones. Then he told them to continue pursuing the enemy.

Afterward, Joshua returned to the cave and ordered the five kings to be brought out. Then he told his men, “Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings.”

In that moment, Joshua taught them not to fear. Instead, he called them to be strong and courageous. He also declared that this is what the Lord would do to every enemy they would face.

Stand in Faith During Spiritual Warfare and Take Hold of God’s Promises

Spiritual Warfare Is Real, but God Gives Victory

Likewise, this Joshua 10 devotional reminds us that spiritual warfare is real. Our battle is not against flesh and blood.

As Ephesians 6:12 teaches, we wrestle against spiritual enemies. For this reason, we must stand in faith, stay rooted in God’s Word, and trust His power to overcome every attack of the enemy.

Take Hold of God’s Promises by Faith

Moreover, God promised you health, freedom, courage, and victory. This Joshua 10 devotional encourages you to take hold of those promises by faith.

In addition, Matthew 11:12 reminds us that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. So do not shrink back. Stand in faith, resist spiritual opposition, and put your foot on every promise God has given you in Christ.

Do Not Back Down: Walk in Victory, Courage, and Faith

Faith-Filled Takeaway from Joshua 10

Finally, the takeaway from this Joshua 10 devotional is simple: do not back down from the promises of God. Stand in faith, resist fear, and remember that the same God who gave Joshua victory will also strengthen you. He will help you overcome every challenge and walk boldly in all He has spoken over your life.

A Prayer for Courage, Victory, and Strong Faith

Now, as you reflect on God’s promises, take a moment to bring your fears, battles, and needs before Him. Ask Him for the courage to stand in faith and trust Him for victory.

Dear Lord, thank You for every promise You have given me in Christ. Strengthen me to stand in faith, resist fear, and take hold of all You have prepared for me. Teach me to fight the good fight of faith and trust You for victory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
