WORDS OF WISDOM

“And the Lord said to Joshua, Do not fear them; for I have delivered them into your hand: not a man of them shall stand before you.” –Joshua 10: 8

The tenth chapter of the Book of Joshua records a tremendous miracle. Joshua and the children of Israel were summoned by their friends the Gibeonites who needed help in battle. Five armies opposed them. The odds were overwhelming but God intervened. He sent hailstones to decimate their enemies. More warriors were killed by hail than by swords. Amazing!  And when Joshua prayed for more time God made the sun stand still.
 

Consider the power!

The same God who helped Joshua and the children of Israel is our ally today. He quelled Joshua's fears with a promise of deliverance. He will do the same for us. Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37). Faith in the Creator of the Universe will destroy all your worries and overcome all your woes. Pray with confidence, knowing He wil carry the load today.
