Our text for this week, Joshua 10:1-15, reminds us that “The Battle (Still) Belongs to the Lord.” That Yahweh is the source of their victory and the general whose commands they follow and whose guidance they trust is a point has already been made in the early stages of the conquest. Apparently it needs repeated. There is also a fascinating interplay between God’s sovereign hand and man’s activity in light of it, a point made clear in the remarkable comment of the sun standing still all day in response to Joshua’s petition.
