Joshua 10: 1-15 The sun stands still

Miracles upon miracles... the story behind the title was two fold. First, the 5 kings of the Amorites joined forces to combat the "threat" and the second was the response of Joshua to protect and honor the treaty that he had made with the Gibeonites. I can see both sides and what was done. I perhaps wondered why the kings didn't collectively or individually take the route of the Gibeonites and at least live. They saw the history that was laid before them and how no living person survived. They saw how few men died on the other side to secure their victory. While they don't know the reason the few died, they must have realized something greater than the Israelites were propelling them to victory. And the the hail storm which destroyed more men than the sword - that must have been a sight to behold.

The miracle of the hail storm was soon to be topped by the longest day ever recorded in that part of the world. Our God is truly a God of miracles.

I, at this time want to offer my prayers to the Tse family and especially for their beloved one who is facing severe recovery time from her car injury. May this bring them closer and nearer to You - the Ultimate Healer.
