Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon." So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel. (Joshua 10:12-14; NKJV)
The day just wouldn't end. The enemies of Jehovah fled for the cover of darkness, but they would find none because He caused the sun to shine longer on that day. "Jehovah is a man of war: Jehovah is His name" (Exodus 15:3; ASV).
The Lesson of the Day: Don't go to war with Jehovah.
