Joshua is represented as pleading with the Angel. Are we engaged in the same work? Are our supplications ascending to God in living faith? Are we opening the door of the heart to Jesus, and closing every means of entrance to Satan? Are we daily obtaining clearer light, and greater strength, that we may stand in Christ's righteousness? Are we emptying our hearts of all selfishness, and cleansing them, preparatory to receiving the latter rain from heaven?

Det vises at Josua går i forbøn for Englen. Er vi involveret i det samme arbede? Stiger vore bønner op til Gud i levende tro? Åbner vi hjertedøren for Jesus, og lukker vi alle indgange for Satan? Får vi hver dag større lys og mere kraft, så vi kan bestå i Kristi retfærdighed? Udtømmer vi vore hjerter for al selviskhed og renser dem for at kunne modtage sildigregnen fra Himmelen?
