What does it mean
to obey a God who calls for ruin?

What kind of justice
leaves no room for mercy?

What kind of love
levels walls and wombs alike?

Who is this Judge
so patient, so perfect,
so exacting?
Who balances the scale
with both blessing and blood?

Do I trust a God
who sees beyond sides?
Who destroys to rebuild?
Who acts not for our comfort,
but for His order?

Joshua 5:13-14

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.”
