Joshua 10:14
"And there was no day like that before it or after
it, that the Lord harkened unto the voice
of man: for the Lord fought for Israel"
During Joshua charge into Beth-horon, God cast great stones from heaven down upon the people of Azekah, and killed them. And after the battle was over more had been killed by God's hailstones than those that was killed by Joshua and his Army. However, it must have been getting dark because of Joshua's request. (Joshua 10:12-14) At Joshua's request, God made the sun and moon stand still for about a day, so that Israel could achieve a greater victory.
One would say; "WOW" what power one man has to ask God to still the Sun and Moon. It takes faith, love, and obedience to God for such a request to be answered. Joshua knew his request would be honored, because the Lord was in the fight with him, in fact the Lord was leading the way.
We look at ourselves today and think that we are strong in the faith, but for some reason; we don't have the favor that Joshua and the Nation of Israel Had; or do we? We might not be able to stop the sun or the moon in there place; that is if we have even tried to? My friends we have power unspeakable! Yes! We can ask God for favors and aid in our life time, but there must be something in place first. You must be in union with God the Father; through the blood of Jesus Christ our Saviour. You must have an unbreakable faith, love and obedience to God's Word. Every thing we do in our lives, we must take it to God first in prayer, than you must believe and you must receive what ever God returns to you. God is with you just like he was with Joshua during all his battles, "But" remember and never forget "You" must be with God if you expect Him to be with you.
Amen!!
