Joshua 10:1-6 – They wouldn’t attach Israel directly, but instead chose to attach Gibeon because they had made peace with Israel.
\nJosua 10:8 – Notice that God doesn’t say “See, I told you not to make peace with any of them. See, no you are being drug into battle because of your alliance.” He could have easily left them on their own, since they acted on their own. No, God goes with them, in fact He goes ahead of them saying “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands. Not a man of them shall stand before you.”
\nEven if we go down an unwise path, without proper planning or consultation, God will remain with us there.
\nJoshua 10:11 – Not only did go ahead of them, he did the bulk of the work, killing more of the enemy himself by throwing down large stones than the Israelites did.
\nJoshua 10:12-13 – What I love about this story is not that God stopped the sun, although that’s incredible. No, what it more impressive tome is that Joshua asked for it. He could have asked for God to finish the battle, to send more stones or something. “He did not ask “God,we are tired and the day is nearly done, please bring the victory to completion.” No, he wanted time to finish what he started. He was not content with the job simply getting done, he wanted to finish the work.
\nI think I’m too content to ask God to change me rather than to ask God for the power to change. I want the change, but I want God to not only do the heavy lifting that I cannot do, but to do all<\/em> the lifting. I need Him to change me, but I need to be ready to work for it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
