“Death By Hailstone”
“Death By Hailstone”
Blessings folk!
Do not fear!
Are you fearing less?
The Word will help you.
Read/listen.
Allow the Lord to apply the truths to your heart.
“Do not fear” appears two more times in the book of Joshua (see previous posts).
Once the Lord says it.
Once Joshua says it.
The entire account is well worth reading.
But first, think on this.
What might the Lord do if we “fear not”?
We know He will fight for us.
How?
Could/would He attack an enemy with hailstones?
Could/would He stop the sun so that we would have enough daylight for total victory?
Jos 10:6-11
Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying,
“Do not abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us,
for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us.”
So Joshua went up from Gilgal,
he and all the people of war with him and all the valiant warriors.
The LORD said to Joshua,
“Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands;
not one of them shall stand before you.”
So Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching all night from Gilgal.
And the LORD confounded them before Israel,
and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon,
the LORD threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died;
there were more who died from the hailstones than those
whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.
The men of Gibeon needed help.
The Amorite kings were coming against them.
The Lord told Joshua to go.
The Lord told him that they would be victorious.
The Lord told him that He would give them into his hands.
So Joshua went.
They marched all night.
What happened?
The Lord confounded the enemy.
He killed them with a great slaughter.
Israel pursued them as they fled.
Some were getting away.
The Lord took care of it.
He threw large stones, hailstones, from heaven.
More died from the hailstones than from the Israelite swords.
The Lord will do battle for us.
He uses what He wants…even things in the “natural”.
Do not fear.
Trust.
