DAILY READINGS: Deut. 10:12-11:32; Song of Sol. 1:1-2:7; Luke 9:18-36
Then spake Joshua to the Lord…Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. Joshua 10:12
Joshua prayed that the sun would stand still and it did (so he thought). But we know that God caused the earth to stand still—in response to Joshua’s faith. God knew that what Joshua needed was an extra day of sunlight. He answered by causing the earth to stand still. Isn’t God gracious? He doesn’t leave us hanging because we use the wrong words. He hears our prayer and gives us the answer we really need. Joshua took his need to God and for him the sun stood still. He will do the same for us. —Deborah Manera
Christ will always accept the faith,
That puts its trust in Him. —Andrew Murray
