Understatement!!! Joshua 10:14

What an understatement! Joshua 10:14 says this: "Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!" Well I guess so. Look at verse 11:

"As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky, and more of them died from the hailstones than were killed by the swords of the Israelites."

Then check out verse 12-13:

"On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the prescence of Israel: O sun stand still over Gibeon, O moon over the Valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day!"

I believe it is an understatement to say that the Lord was fighting for the Israelites that day. What an amazing reminder of the power of our Lord!

Does he only fight for the Israelites? Does he fight equally as much for you and me?

He is constantly battling for our souls. Who knows was spiritual battles are going on at all times. This is so reassuring that we serve the one and only God, the God of the universe. As if we needed more proof!

Now, I just wish that I could take a lesson from the faith journey that Joshua has been on throughout his journey and live a life symbolic of the power of my Lord and Saviour.
