Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Joshua chapter 10 verses 12 and 13a:
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
13
So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on its enemies . . .
I have a pastor friend who woke up the other day to the sound of the birds outside her window. She turned to her husband and said stoically, “They don’t even know.”
“Maybe they do,” he said, “and they’re trying to help.”
The March full moon just passed. The Old Farmer’s Almanac calls it “The Full Worm Moon” because with it comes the earth worms.
The earth worms bring the robins.
The robins bring the song at daybreak.
They are trying to help. Believe it. Earth, sun, moon, and stars, and all the rest of creation are doing their best to try to help us.
May their song bring you joy and peace this morning.
NOTE: We are reading the Bible through this year. Tomorrow’s Lesson will come from Joshua chapters 12 through 15.
