Joshua gives a command to the heavenly bodies, and God rearranges the laws of physics so that they obey him. It's one of the greatest miracles in all of scripture. In its scientific magnitude, it is an even greater miracle than the parting of the Red Sea. But that isn't the main reason I'm so taken by what happened here. I'm struck by the context. Joshua just blew it.

He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals.  Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farm hand? http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=5B007HES&GroupID=2A000MJQ http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=5B007HES&GroupID=2A000MJQ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:25:00 -0500 The_Daily_Encourager-subscribe@myinjesus.com (Tom Norvelle) The Hopes of the Helpless Psalm 10:17 "Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them."  (NLT) "The hopes of the helpless." Interesting phrase don't you think? What are the hopes of the helpless? Help. Escape. Relief. Freedom. Deliverance. Strength. Energy. Light. Refreshment. Revival. Renewal. Dreams. "Immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine." "The hopes of the helpless."

To my surprise I've recently discovered that I'm slowly losing my mind.  No, no.  It's true.  On the surface I may appear incredibly wise, calm, cute and cuddly, but for the last several months I've fallen victim to FBS, or more commonly known as "Father of the Bride Syndrome".  You see, my one and only daughter, Mallory, will soon be marrying her beau, Jon. FBS comes with an assortment of conflicting emotion http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=5B007HEH&GroupID=2A000MJQ http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=5B007HEH&GroupID=2A000MJQ Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:30:00 -0500 The_Daily_Encourager-subscribe@myinjesus.com (Os Hillman) The Depth and Width of Your Calling "If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer." - 2 Corinthians 1:6 "God must love you a lot! He doesn't allow someone to go through the kinds of adversity you have experienced unless He has a special calling on your life."

They carefully noted every landmark, because to be lost could mean certain death. One night a great storm drove them into a cave, and from there they watched the lightning flash. Soon the rain began to pour and floodwaters gushed across the desert, ripping up cacti and completely changing the terrain. One of the prospectors cried out in panic, "All the landmarks are swept away and we are lost!"

Look up at the heavens and count the stars - so shall your offspring be" (Genesis 15:4-5). Many years went by without any indication that God would fulfill this promise.  Finally, when Abraham was one hundred years old (and his wife, Sarah, was ninety) God fulfilled His promise through the birth of Isaac. But when Isaac was a y http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=3B007HDK&GroupID=2A000MJQ http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=3B007HDK&GroupID=2A000MJQ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:05:00 -0500 The_Daily_Encourager-subscribe@myinjesus.com () The Search For An Honest Man The following story reportedly came from Sports Illustrated. The game was played in Wellington, Florida. In it, a seven-year-old first baseman, Tanner Munsey, fielded a ground ball and tried to tag a runner going from first to second base. The umpire, Laura Benson, called the runner out, but young Tanner immediately ran to her side and said, "Ma'am, I didn't tag the runner." Umpire Benson reversed herself, sent the runner to second base, and http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=2B007HDK&GroupID=2A000MJQ http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=2B007HDK&GroupID=2A000MJQ Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:30:00 -0500 The_Daily_Encourager-subscribe@myinjesus.com (Larry R. Kalajainen ) God's Timetable, Not Ours I heard a story which illustrates how we often confuse God's timing with ours. A country newspaper had been running a series of articles on the value of church attendance. One day, a letter to the editor was received in the newspaper office. It read, "Print this if you dare. I have been trying an experiment. I have a field of corn which I plowed on Sunday. I planted it on Sunday. I did all the cultivating on Sunday. I gathered the harvest on Sunday and http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=YB007HDJ&GroupID=2A000MJQ http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=YB007HDJ&GroupID=2A000MJQ Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:10:00 -0500 The_Daily_Encourager-subscribe@myinjesus.com (Charles Stanley) THE CONCEPT OF GRACE There is a great article that illustrates the concept of grace written by Charles Stanley. âOne of my more memorable seminary professors had a practical way of illustrating to his students the concept of grace. At the end of his evangelism course he would distribute the exam with the caution to read it all the way through before beginning to answer it. This caution was written on the exam as well. As we read the test, it became unquestionably clear to each of us
