And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. (Joshua 5:15)

In our Christian life we are called to stand - to realise the strength in our God to overcome difficulties and to remain on our feet when our enemies would bring us to our knees.

But there are times that we need to be reminded, like Joshua of old, that in our own righteousness we cannot stand before a holy and righteous God. As we enter into His presence, we are standing on holy ground. On our knees is the only safe place to be.
