Joshua 10 and the Armor of God
Five kings are upset that Gibeon, a fellow royal city, has made a peace treaty with Joshua. They rise up against Gibeon. Gibeon sends an urgent message to Joshua asking for help. He quickly responds with the full army of Israel. They march all night, attack, and fight throughout the day. God fights for them by sending large hailstones. Near the end of the day, Joshua sees that they need more time to seal the victory. He commands the sun and moon to stand still. God performs the miracle. Amazing!
Just like Joshua fought the evil kingdoms and was victorious, Jesus is fighting the Devil’s evil kingdom and is victorious! With Jesus, we too will be victorious! Put on the full armor of God!
God kept His promise to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Israelites. God gave them the Promised Land. We, too, have a Promised Land — heaven and the earth made new. We only need to believe in Jesus. He will help us to be strong, courageous, and faithful because He loves us so very, very much!
