Stopping the Sun and the Moon

«So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. » Joshua 10:13

After the great miracle of the fall of the walls of Jericho, leader Joshua continued to guide the people and lead them in battles against their enemies. And there were other miracles!

At one time, five kings joined together to fight against Israel. Poor Israel! It looked weak in front of other armies! But while the armies were fighting, God sent a hailstorm that destroyed many enemies.

But the war went on, and it was getting close to dark. How would they fight in the dark? So he asked for the sun to stand still and brighten the day. And God answered him so that for many hours the sun continued to shine, and the moon didn’t appear! And the Israelites won the battle!

Let’s practice!

Ask your mom what are some ways that God cares for you.
