God is our Healer, and Provider, and now our strength.
This passage is a cross section of our own daily battle against the enemy.
– We have an outer self (Joshua).
– We have an inner self (Moses) united with Christ.
– Both are wholly dependent upon the power of God.
– God designed the Church so we have others to help us in our time of weakness.
