Joshua was likely tempted to use the Canaanites' weapons against them, but God would not have it. Strategy and innovation are not prohibited, but God demands that his people place their ultimate trust in him. We cannot place our trust in the very things that our enemies have trusted, while assuming that God will bless it.

Joshua was perfectly obedient as he waged war against the Canaanites, even destroying their chariots and horses (verse 6). There are many treasures of Babylon/Canaan that are ripe for the Christian to plunder. All truth is God's truth. However, there are certain tools and tactics of the devil that the Christian must resist.

Israel had just finished a long and tiring conquest of the land of Canaan. They appear to have silently determined that they were done with war. They had witnessed the barbarism of the authoritarian leaders of Canaan. And now, their own leader, Joshua, was dead. In Joshua's absence, a poisonous potion of fatigue, apathy, and misguided pity for Israel's enemies was brewed. The “postwar sentiment” took root in Israel. It has been said: “Hard times create hard men. Hard men create soft times. Soft times create soft men. And soft men create hard times.” It is on the backdrop of Israel's slavery and subjection to those who hate them that God raises up the Judges. Many of the Judges do not possess the godly character of Moses or Joshua. They are hard men, but many of them also possess hard hearts. We are entering a time where there will soon be a massive crop of young, hard men. These young, hard men will not follow titles, they will only follow courage. But in their zeal, they pose the threat of destroying all the good in the world along with the evil. The key is for the strength of these young, hard men to be harnessed by even harder men who possess softer hearts.

Grace is a gift, but this gift must be received through faith. And here’s the really neat part - God provides the faith necessary to receive grace as well.

Just as Joshua and Israel found great success in conquering their enemies in Joshua 10, God now grants them the same success against an even greater enemy in Joshua 11. In Joshua 10, Israel goes to war against five kings and their armies. In Joshua 11, all the remaining kings in the land of Canaan now unite against Joshua, so that their number was like “the sand that is on the seashore.” God's ordinary design for the Christian life is that we often face challenges in a progression of increasing difficulty. The victories of our past serve to be training grounds for the next trial. And when fresh challenges arrive, God provides fresh grace and assurance.
