There are so many things in this world that break our hearts, many situations that seem unfair and bring us to our knees. That is just where we should be, if we are seeking to be served by our mighty God.
We must bow…unlike the “stiff necked” people we have been reading about. And, we must remember to pray BIG. We serve a great big God and He can do things for us we can’t even dream about.
Joshua 10:12-13 (NIV)
On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence 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, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day."
I can’t even begin to imagine what it must feel like to have God stop the sun from setting, just for me. I can’t fathom God loving me so much He would change the course of nature for 24 hours so that I could fight my battles without worrying my enemy would have a chance to regroup. Every battle we engage in, every enemy we face down, can be accomplished when we call on God to fight for us. What an awesome God we have on our side!
