And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. One is to do what you want to do and hope that it works out. The other is to do what you want to do and ask God to bless it. That's what Joshua did.

Now can you imagine roll call in the army.
