Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand.
Joshua 10:8

Joshua 10:1-14
Joshua led the armies of Israel through the Promised Land, an axis of
kings lined up against them. It was five-to-one, but God told Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand."
As the battle waged on, Joshua cried to God for more daylight to finish
the job, and the Lord answered in a miraculous way. The sun stood still
over Gibeon, and the moon over the Valley of Aijalon.
Yes, that's a
miracle. But it's almost as great a miracle when some of us "stand
still" long enough to consider and claim the promises of God. Our lives
are whirlwinds of worry and weariness, but how wonderful when we learn
to be still and know that He is God.
Critics of the
Bible ridicule the story of the day the sun stood still over Gibeon in
Joshua 10; but if God spoke the world into existence, He's big enough
to perform miracles as needed. His answers are bigger than our prayers,
and His promises are greater than our problems. If He can make the sun
stand still in its course, He can still our hearts, answer our prayers,
and give us the victories we need.
To God, the sun never does go down.
