God fights for His people: The verse emphasizes that victory does not come from human strength but from the Lord’s intervention. One against many: The imagery of one person chasing a thousand shows the supernatural strength God provides when His people trust Him. Promise fulfilled: Joshua is reminding Israel that God has kept His word, He has driven out nations before them, and He will continue to fight for them if they remain faithful.

Even when we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed, God’s presence ensures that we are never fighting alone.
