Joshua 10: The Sun Stood Still

In Joshua 10, we learn about God’s miraculous intervention on behalf of Israel in a decisive battle where the sun and moon stood still, hailstones fell from the sky and the enemies of Israel were defeated. This chapter shows us how God works through both natural and supernatural events to fulfill his promises and support his people. Despite being drawn into a war that initially wasn’t their own, Joshua and his army courageously trusted God’s plan. Through their obedience and reliance on God, they witnessed his might and faithfulness as he fought for them and led them to victory in Canaan. The theme of this chapter reminds us that God is always in control, even when we face challenging and unprecedented circumstances.
