Day 131...(Joshua 9,10; Psalm 131; Matthew 8)..."When the Sun Stood Still"

History documents a day when the sun was altered for a day. The Bible is not a book of science but it is interesting to note the reference to a day the sun stopped. Was this to allow Israel more time to win a battle? Was it to give relief from the heat? Joshua is most interesting reading in chapter ten. Here is the account...

"On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon." till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a man. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!"

What an awesome thought that time stood still!
