Joshua 10:13 (NIV) The sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies. As we look at this incredible miracle, it is worth looking at what led up to this event. As we saw last week the Gibeonites tricked Joshua into making an alliance with them. Now they are in trouble and Joshua is obligated to help them. Although Joshua is obligated by a bad decision, the LORD still tells him to go ahead, and HE will give them the power to conqueror. The LORD said, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.” This should be an encouragement to all of us. Through God’s grace and mercy, HE never leaves us or forsakes us and continues to lead and protect us even when we mess up! Not only that but as we repent and keep our eyes on Jesus, God HIMSELF will intervene more powerfully than we could ever expect.
