“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of AijalonAnd the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Joshua 10:12
At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,
“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of AijalonAnd the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. 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
Amos 2:9
“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
Habakuk 3:11
The sun and moon stood still in their place
at the light of your arrows as they sped,
at the flash of your glittering spear.
You marched through the earth in fury;
you threshed the nations in anger.
You went out for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation of your anointed.

Joshua went up against not one but, five armies that had banded together to fight against them. It was not the might of the Israelites that overcame their enemies, it was God. God threw the enemies into a state of confusion and then while they were running away He destroyed many of them with a hail storm. We read stories like this throughout scripture where time and time again the battle is God’s. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Think about this for a moment. God has not changed. His power has not changed. His love for those who hear His voice and surrender to Him will not change. Do you want to have power over the battles you are facing? Surrender them to God – Trust His Power
