Wed Devo - What a Day!

Read Joshua 10
When I get mad I sometimes want to throw things, usually my computer. I don't----- because I know that whatever I break, I will have to pay for and I will have to explain to Dave why the window and my computer both crashed in the same day. When God gets mad he throws water (in the form of rain), hailstones, fire, and brimestone (whatever that is-Oh, it's sulfer). Talk about a mess! In today's reading he threw hailstones on the 10 evil kings that had banded together to fight the Israelites. God killed more men with his stones than the Israelites did with thier swords. Go God!!! Then, if that wasn't enough, Joshua asked God for a little more daylight so they could keep fighting. God made the sun to stand still for a whole day!!!
Five of the kings fled and hid in a cave. When Joshua found out, he ordered stones to seal these kings in the cave until he could come back and kill them. Joshua brought the kings out and commanded his men to put their feet on the king's necks. Then he hung them on a tree. That night they took their bodies down and put them back into the same cave and put stones over the mouth of the cave, "which remains until this very day." After that day Joshua and his army picked off the cities that remained one by one.
What a contrast to when Jesus hung on the cross and the sky went dark in the middle of the day. (Luke 23:45) The veil in the temple was torn in two signifying that there was no longer any need for a high priest to go to God for us; we are all welcome into the presence of God! That was the day that Jesus put Satan under his feet and gave us the right to do the same thing to our enemies. Unlike Jesus, these kings are still in that cave. Our Jesus ROSE from the grave.
We are called to be children of the light. If we walk in the spirit, we are always walking in the light. There is no night in our life. Jesus said, You are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill CANNOT be hid. It is impossible for us to hide this light inside us. Thank you Jesus! Help us to always walk in the light and glorify your name.
