Numbers 23:27-24:25; Proverbs 21:12-22:16; Luke 1:1-25
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Joshua 10:13 NKJV
What an amazing answer to a prayer that pleased God with its daring and courage! Joshua did not request that God intervene as quickly as possible to finish the battle, nor to “please get them out of this mess”, a consequence of their own earlier prayerlessness. Instead, he prayed that they be allowed daylight till they finished the battle and eradicated the enemy army, as God had commanded. In this example I see a challenge to my own soul: embrace the
challenges, don’t seek escape or relief until the Lord has completed the work He needs to do in me. —Marilyn MacMullen
Fight the good fight with all thy might,
Christ is thy strength and Christ thy right. —J. Monsell
