Based upon Joshua 10:8 based Joshua is stepping out on God’s promise. Hey did you know that according to Herbert Lockyer’s book “All the Promises of the Bible” that there are over 12,000 promises in the Bible and considering that there are 31,173 total Bible verses that means that over a third of the bible is made up of His promises. So can you imagine what would happen if you and I like Joshua began simply to act on God’s promises towards us as Joshua does? “Lord you said not a man of them will stand before me and time is running out in the day so Lord you’re going to have to make the day longer to fulfill you’re promise.” Hey saint’s could the reason we don’t experience more miraculous events in our lives is that we don’t act on the belief in God’s Word’s of promise towards us?
Dear ones we all at times feel as though we are facing impossible days, improbable odds, and insurmountable foes but it is not that God is lacking, it is that we aren’t willing to rise up and trust in His promises. How glorious it is to see that at Joshua’s simply trusting and acting on God’s word of promise to him that he saw the false god’s of the kingdoms of this world defeated.
