Joshua faces the might of northern kings, but victory comes through faith, not force.

Luke 16:10
What defines your strength—your resources or your reliance on God? In Joshua 11, a massive alliance of northern kings comes together to defeat Israel. Outnumbered and outmatched, Joshua could have given in to fear. But God had already promised victory. Instead of panicking, Joshua moved forward in obedience, trusting that faith—not military might—would win the battle. This story reminds us that being faithful in the fight is more important than having the most resources. Whether we’re managing family, work, or our own battles of self-doubt, it’s our consistency and trust in God that matter most. Faithfulness in small things—like showing up, keeping your word, praying without seeing results—prepares us for bigger victories. God doesn’t need numbers or chariots; He needs hearts that won’t quit.
