God trumps all... if allowed.

JOSHUA 12

So, I guess it’s time to write down all the Israelite victories for the history books. The score?

God: 31
Canaanite kings: 0

What does this say to me? Nothing can stand in God’s way—if and when we allow Him to work. For the fate of the Canaanite kings is the same fate that every evil trait and tendency in us will suffer if we allow the Spirit of God to have free reign in our lives. There may be intense war. There may even be setbacks. But if we don’t stand in God’s way, nothing else can prevail against Him. If we allow God into our lives, we will be able to replace the title on the scoreboard as follows:

God: 31
Our sin: 0
