“Sun. Moon. Stopped”

“Sun. Moon. Stopped”

Blessings folk!

What if we as Believers did not fear?

We read yesterday that the Lord fought for Joshua and Israel.
He brought victory.
The Lord threw hailstones from the heavens and killed more enemy with the stones than Israel did by sword.

Would God do such for those who fear not?

I believe so.

But, there is more to the story…

Jos 10:12-15

Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,
“O sun, stand still at Gibeon,
And O moon in the valley of Aijalon.”

So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.
Is it not written in the book of Jashar?
And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky
and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

There was no day like that before it or after it,
when the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.

Whoa!

The sun stood still.
The moon stopped.
For about a whole day.

Why?
So that Israel could finish off the enemy.

How?
By the voice of a man who did not fear but who called upon the Lord in faith.
Joshua “said in the sight of Israel”…before the people he declared it.
He said “O sun, stand still…and O moon…”
They did.

The Word tells us that there was no day like that before it or after it.

Why?
The Lord listened to the voice of man…and fought for Israel by stopping the sun/moon.

What will the Lord do for those who refuse to walk in fear?
What will the Lord do through those who choose to walk in faith?

Faith not fear!
