Joshua 10:6-14
6 The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: "Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us."
7 So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army, including all the best fighting men.
8 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you."
9 After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise.
10 The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great victory at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky, and more of them died from the hailstones than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
12 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."
13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, 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.
14 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!

The faith displayed here by Joshua in proclaiming it publicly in front people is notable indeed. I believe Joshua was a keen observer of God and his powerful deeds. This is a war which is impossible for Isralites to win with their might, is made possible by God. Joshua was there proclaiming his faith in God, that God would win the war for them, in front of all the Isralites - so that they can put their trust in God.

On the day when Joshua said, to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the valley of Aijalon”, God answered his prayer, like never before. The sun stood still and the moon stopped.

Today, when we believe in the Lord wholeheartedly and when we are intense in proclaiming our faith in front of others, we will see many miracles taking place. We will see many people put their faith in Jesus and we will see God’s name be glorified.

Let’s make a decision today to share our faith to people around us and also to thank God in prayer for all the great things he had done in our life.
