Here is Great message about Leadership and why we let God take over. QB Joshua is leading his team however the task is way too big for him. Josh needs help.
" My Strength is made perfect in Weakness...... For when I am Weak I am Strong."
1Corinthians 12:9-10
"Whenever there is a Problem there is an Opportunity."
Josh was used to being the Back-Up QB to the Starting QB Moses. Now when it is time to realize he is really in over His head it is God's Opportunity to Win a Victory.
God loves to Help the Humble Underdog.
In 1994 Quarterback Kurt Warner of the Rams was working at a Supermarket stocking shelves. In 1999 He Led his Team to Winning The Super Bowl.
"God gives Grace to the Humble."
James 4:6
In the following look how the Coach (God) uses Josh's Leadership to lead Israel to Victory.
Now - Just Go - Win the Day

Phil 4:13

"...are you for us or for our enemies?" "Neither", he replied. ... Then Joshua fell face down to the ground in reverence and asked him: "What message does my Lord have for his servant?" (Joshua 5:13,14)
Joshua
Shortly before the first big confrontation with Jericho, Joshua had a very strange encounter himself.
He had only just been called to be the leader of his people, and now he has been asked to surrender his leadership to the commander of the army of the Lord.
Joshua's spiritual maturity is proven by the fact that he would rather be second-in-command in God's army, than first-in-command of his own.
When asked if the man was for or against the Israelites, his only reply was, "neither." What the messenger of the Lord was really saying was "I have not come to take sides. I have come to take over."
Whoever is willing to surrender the leadership to God will experience that no wall is too high for God, no river too deep, no problem too great.
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can't tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible; He does the things others cannot do.
