“The Best Battle Plan” by Lysa TerKeurst

Proverbs 31 Ministries
About this episode

In today’s episode, you’ll hear a devotion written by Lysa TerKeurst based on Joshua 5:13, which says, “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?’” (NIV).

We hope today’s devotion reminds you that God is not only big enough to handle your impending battle but also loving enough to address the doubt, fear and insecurity running through your mind.
