An Answer To Prayer

-

On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory
over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord
in front of all the people of Israel. He said,

“Let the sun stand still over Gibeon,
and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”

So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place
until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.

Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar?
The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and
it did not set as on a normal day.

There has never been a day like this one before
or since, when the Lord answered such a prayer.

Surely the Lord fought for Israel that day!
Then Joshua and the Israelite army returned
to their camp at Gilgal.
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬-‭15‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Do not be discouraged

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
