Joshua 10:8 "And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee."
COMMENTARY by David Guzik @ blueletterbible.org: "Fear them not..." This is a command. Though Joshua has reason to fear because Israel faces a confederation of five kings, God commands Joshua to not fear his enemies. We can cripple our ability to fight God's battles through our fear. Though we might face strong enemies, we are commanded to not fear.
"I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you..." The command is coupled with a promise. We can obey God's command to not fear because we have His promise of victory. We must therefore see fear for what it is -- unbelief. It is an unwillingness to believe what God has promised.
We must NEVER give in to unbelief; we must BELIEVE that God will ALWAYS follow through with His promise to be with us always!!
