Standing Still with God: Lessons from Joshua 10

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day journey exploring one of the most dramatic moments in the Bible: when the sun stood still over Gibeon. This event, found in Joshua 10, is a compelling testament to God’s sovereignty, power, and intimate care for His people. As we consider this passage, we will dive deep into what it means for us to trust God's timing and authority in our own lives.

Imagine a battlefield where the stakes were high and time seemed short. Joshua, leading the Israelites, faced overwhelming opposition. In a miraculous move, God caused the sun to stop in the sky, extending the daylight so the Israelites could claim victory. This moment demonstrates that God controls nature itself and intervenes on behalf of His people.

As we study these Scriptures, you will gain insight into God’s faithfulness when facing challenges, the importance of faithful leadership, and how perseverance in God’s promises can bring breakthrough in your life. Each day will uncover different facets of this event — from the context of the battle to the faith it required, to the impact of divine intervention in the course of history.

By reflecting on these truths, you can learn to stand firm in your trust in God's timing, even when situations seem impossible. Prepare to be encouraged, challenged, and inspired by the power of God demonstrated in Joshua 10.
