“And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand.” Joshua 8:18
The capture of big Jericho may have been a walkover. and here now is little Ai. Yet the means used successfully for the victory at Jericho cannot be applied here: something new is called for. In other words, you cannot tackle today’s spiritual battles with yesterday’s weapons. The past has become history and you thank God for it, but new power is needed now to deal with a new challenge.
To persist in self-reliance acquired through past successes is to close the door to progress. The Lord orders our circumstances to confront us with an ever-fresh need to seek his face, proving to us thereby that we can overcome every time by means of some new discovery of him.
