Then spake Joshua to the LORD … Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. — Joshua 10:12-13
Moses’s successor, Joshua, was burning daylight with too much to do so he, according to the Bible, told the Sun to hold still until he could finish. Realizing how fantastic that seems, the reader is pointed to another source, the now lost book of Jasher.
Joshua didn’t try to figure out what all it would take for God to answer his prayer (earth rotation, gravity, etc) — he had a need, had faith, and spoke trusting God would work the details.
Sometimes we concern ourselves with too many details and reasons why not, rather than trusting God to work it all out.
Sound bite: “God is in the details!”
Prayer: “Jesus, sometimes I get too smart for my own good and it robbs me from trusting your care and provision. Help me to trust you are handling the details for my needs. Amen.”
