Fierce is the Battle

Fierce is the battle against the giants in our land
Who will join God’s army? Who will take a stand?
Some give up quite easily because of what they see
Faith looks not at facts, but in the Lord’s ability

If God can stop the sun in the middle of the day
He can expose the darkness as His people pray
God controls the weather as He rides the ancient sky
Sending hail, rain and snow to defeat and terrify

Everything we go through is a lesson and a test
Telling us of God’s great glory and our promised rest
We can wander through the land or take a stand and fight
Victory goes to those who live by faith and not by sight

Joshua 10:11 – “As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them, and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.”

Job 38:22 –23 – “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, 23 which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?”

Joshua 10

The book of Joshua is about Israel taking the land that God had promised them through Moses, and their commander, Joshua. In chapter ten, God shows His power and His help by hurling large hail stones down on Israel’s enemies from the sky. Verse eleven says that more of the enemy died from the hailstones than were killed by the swords of the Israelites. Not only that, Joshua asked God to have the sun stop in the sky so that he can continue to win the battle that was being fought that day. God did as Joshua asked.
These were not normal enemies they were fighting but giants. If you remember forty years prior to that they refused to enter the land because the giants were so big and their faith was too small. They were looking at the facts and not God’s ability to overcome the giants.
Once they started moving forward in faith God moved on their behalf forty years later.
What is it that you need God to do for you? Don’t look at the facts. Reach out in faith to conquer.
