Verses 1-9 focused on God's requirement to Joshua to cirumcise all the people a second time. The outward expression is straight forward, for those who belong to the Lord are circumcised.
*Today being born after Christ's resurrection, we are no longer required to be physically circumcised but in the spiritual aspect, how are we to be circumcised and set apart for the Lord? Do we focus much on what we do rather than who we are in Him?
Verses 10-12: The Lord's daily provision of manna has ceased and Israel now eats the produce of the land. God has kept His covenant of providence to Israel that in the wildderness, it was more than just seeing God provide in His Faithfulness, it is comprehending the magnitude of His Love to provide daily for His people.
*How do we view His faithfulness day to day? Have we considered the Love God has for us that drives Him to faithfully provide?
Verses 13-15: Joshua encounters the Commander of the Lord's Army. Though the angel only claims to be the commander of the Lord's Army, Joshua immediately identified Himself as God's servant. Joshua knew he was not the absolute leader, he was just serving the Lord as an instrument in leading Israel.
*Do we like Joshua, know who is our master? Do we practise a habit of submission to God?
