Bible Study - Joshua 10

S — The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. 14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:13–14 ESV

O — God stopped the cataclysmic effects that would have naturally occurred, such as monstrous tidal waves and objects flying around. Evidence that the earth's rotation simply slowed down is found in the closing words of Joshua 10:13: The sun … delayed going down about a full day. The sun was thus abnormally slow or tardy in getting to sunset, that is, its progression from noon to dusk was markedly lethargic, giving Joshua and his soldiers sufficient time to complete their victorious battle.
An important fact that should not be overlooked is that the sun and moon were principal deities among the Canaanites. At the prayer of Israel's leader Canaan's gods were compelled to obey. This disturbance to their gods must have been terribly upsetting and frightening to the Canaanites. The secret of Israel's triumph over the coalition of Canaanites is found in the words, Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel! In answer to prayer Israel experienced the dramatic intervention of God on their behalf and victory was assured.

A — God fought for Israel. He'll fight for you too. You may never see the sun stand still. But you'll see Him move — in ways you didn't expect, at exactly the right time. So tell Him your heart. Tell Him your desires. He's listening. He's working. He's got you.

R — Heavenly Father, we worship You. We surrender to You. Thank You for fighting for us. Your will is good — we trust it completely. There's nothing You can't do. Nothing is bigger than You. Nothing is beyond Your reach.
