The Advanced Guard

My beloved brothers, and sisters in Christ, All that I write, I pray first to God to guide my words. He is the sole source of my writing. All the credit goes to God, not to me. I am only his humble servant. With my military background, when I hear the phrase advance team, I think of an advanced guard. The advanced guard or group will go before the primary forces. Their job was to access and prepare the best method of attack. A good example was Joshua and his spies (Joshua 2:1, 6:25). As Jesus prepared His disciples for events to come, Jesus is our Advance team, and He is preparing for our events to come. We can take comfort that He knows about our circumstances and has prepared a solution.
