Synopsis: One day God stopped the Sun and Moon for His people to accomplish His will. This passage reminds us that amazing things happen when we are strong and courageous. Just like Joshua this requires that we completely trust Jehovah, work hard, and pray even harder.

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
