– Scripture:

                  Uncommon Faith

The day God gave the Amorites up to Israel, Joshua spoke to God, with all Israel listening:

“Stop, Sun, over Gibeon; Halt, Moon, over Aijalon Valley.” The sun stopped, and Moon stood stock still Until he defeated his enemies.

                             Joshua 10:12–13 MSG

 – Reflection:

Joshua was in the midst of a huge battle. The sun was going down, and Joshua knew that if he couldn’t get the enemy’s army totally defeated, they would rise up later and cause problems. So he asked God to stop the sun, something that had never been done before. 

Where do we go from here?

Think about the Faith that Joshua has where he is able to ask GOD himself to stop the SUN from going down to complete a task. His faith was off the charts; he was bold and uncompromising in his relationship with our savior. This is UNCOMMON today; we should be able to trust in GOD to do what he has told us and truly believe that. Instead, we get caught up in what others are doing and have when those things were never coming to us in those ways anyway. GOD has a plan for us, and when we have an UNCOMMON faith and belief in his plans for us we will receive everything he has for us and more.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for giving us every reason to have uncommon faith that believes above and beyond. Thank You that we can believe You for the extraordinary and step into the unknown. We believe that You are taking us forward into the fullness of our destiny. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
