SUMMARY: God stopped the sun in answer to Joshua's prayer to show His sovereignty and power. Our faith is the supernatural substance that mobilizes God to do the impossible. Many times, God stops us to remind us that His plans are perfect and we must trust in His control. Like how God stopped the sun to ensure victory for Israel, He can stop in our lives to give us enough light that leads to victory. Our victory comes from Christ, who is the light of the world, and we can ask Him to stop in us and give us His light.

What for man is fortuitous and casual, for God is plan. On one occasion God stopped the sun in answer to a prayer (Joshua 10:13) to show that nature works according to His will and is subject to His rule and sovereignty. Also to show that faith of his people is the supernatural substance that mobilizes him to do what seems impossible to achieve victory. “… Because everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith ”(1 John 5.4) As you dealt with Joshua, you can deal with your children today. And he can even intentionally "stop" us to display his glory and keep us from sliding into the abyss of our folly. “There are ways that seem straight to man, but that end up being ways of death” (Prov. 14.12 NIV)

Many times life is similar to those dreams in which, terrified by anguish in the face of a situation that we cannot control, we want to take a step and we cannot; in our mind there is only the desire to escape at all costs, but something incomprehensible stops us, paralyzes us. In the real world this happens whenever we leave God out of our lives and pretend to take self-sufficient control of our actions. It is then that God stops us to remind us that He is God and that His projects are much better than ours, that we must trust in His control because His plan, even with scenarios and some episodes that we will never understand, is perfect, like His will is perfect.
