A Deep Friendship!

A Deep Friendship!

Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and what Joshua did to others; He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war. So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying, Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel. So the 5 kings were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it. And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe for all the Kings have come against us. So Joshua went there with all his army. And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you. So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them. And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon and on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword. It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon. So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day till the war was over. And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel. And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.

Lesson to be Learnt:

            When we are for God, God is definitely for us.  Joshua did what the Lord commanded and when Joshua needed something the Lord got it done for Him. Doesn’t it sound like a relationship, maybe a kind of friendship. We teach the kids at our church this way. To speak to God is like getting a new friend. What do you do when you get to know a new friend,

1.       You talk to them to know their details – You talk to God through prayer

2.      You get their phone number to know them better – You read the Bible to know God better

3.      Then you build your relationship stronger by doing what they want you to – You are going to build your relationship with God by obeying His commands in the Bible.

4.      And the friendship lasts with meetings and chats – And yes the friendship with the Lord lasts with daily Bible Reading and Praying. And you will have a happy ever after story.

So don’t you want to get started with this friendship with the Lord. Then Come on , get on knees praying and reading your Bible. Happy Friendship :D

Psalm 1:2,3 

But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of water that brings forth its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf shall not wither, and all which he does shall be blessed.

கர்த்தருடைய வேதத்தில் பிரியமாயிருந்து, இரவும் பகலும் அவருடைய வேதத்தில் தியானமாயிருக்கிற மனுஷன் பாக்கியவான். அவன் நீர்க்கால்களின் ஓரமாய் நடப்பட்டு, தன் காலத்தில் தன் கனியைத் தந்து, இலையுதிராதிருக்கிற மரத்தைப்போலிருப்பான்; அவன் செய்வதெல்லாம் வாய்க்கும்.
