We see in Joshua 10-12 that it does not pay to fight against God or His people! We also see God's complete sovreignty in Joshua 11:20. This theme runs rampant in the Bible. Although people have complete free choice and responsibility, God at the same time has complete sovreignty. This is a mystery that we will never fully understand, yet we can stand back and say, "only God." Lost people still fight against God today. Some poke fun at Him, laugh at Him, and even curse Him while never realizing that He is all at the same time using them to accomplish His full purposes. No matter how hard we try, we will never win a game of hide and go seek with God.
A beautiful song is captured in Luke 1:46-55. I always like to focus on the first two verses (v. 46-47). Here, we see Mary praising the Father! Although Mary is blessed, (v. 48-49 = she has the Son of God in her womb!) she should not be worshipped, as some of our Catholic friends believe. Mary was simply the instrument God chose to use to bring us the One who deserves our full worship!
