Joshua 10:12, Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. Joshua was not satisfied with a partial victory — he wanted to see a complete victory, so he prayed an impossible prayer. Joshua 10:14, And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel. The sun stood still and the moon stopped for 24 hours.…

“Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.” I Chronicles 16:7. It was a great day for Israel. The Ark of the Covenant which had been taken from their midst many years before was finally returned and set in its place in the tent that David had prepared for it. As the people gathered to rejoice, many offerings were made to the Lord. One of the first things that David did was appoint a group of Levites to give praise and make music before the Lord. David…
“And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home. And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.” I Samuel 2:20-21. We can never out give the Lord. Hannah proved this truth. She gave her most precious possession, the son she waited years for, to the Lord. As a mother, I can imagine how Hannah felt as she left Shiloh after…
“The Lord himself with fight for you. Just stay calm.” Exodus 14:14 MSG We live in a day and age where we don’t usually have to literally step onto the battlefield and war for what is rightfully ours. We aren’t bloodied and bruised from the fight, and we certainly (hopefully) don’t carry swords and shields with us for protection. We do fight spiritually though, whether we realize it or not.
