約書亞記第10章：神為祂的百姓爭戰
約書亞記第10章是一章非常重要的經文，讓我們看見：當神的百姓面對強大的敵人時，真正決定勝負的，不是人的能力，而是神的同在和神的作為。
一、五王聯合攻打基遍
當耶路撒冷王聽見基遍與以色列人立約，就非常害怕。因為基遍是一座大城，而且比艾城更大，城中的人也很勇猛。
於是亞摩利人的五個王聯合起來，要攻打基遍。
基遍人就急忙派人去吉甲找約書亞，求他：
「求你速速上來拯救我們，幫助我們，因為住山地亞摩利人的諸王都聚集攻擊我們。」
約書亞沒有放棄基遍人。雖然以色列人先前因為沒有求問耶和華而與基遍人立約，但既然已經起誓，就要守約。
這提醒我們：
信實不是只在對我們有利的時候才信實。
約書亞選擇承擔責任，帶領以色列軍隊去幫助基遍。
二、神親自為以色列人爭戰
神對約書亞說：
「不要怕他們；因為我已將他們交在你手裡。」
這句話非常重要。
約書亞面對的是五王聯軍，人數、力量都可能遠遠超過以色列人，但是神沒有叫約書亞先計算敵人有多少，而是先告訴他：
「我已將他們交在你手裡。」
以色列人突然攻擊敵軍，耶和華使敵軍在以色列人面前潰亂。
更奇妙的是，經文說：
耶和華從天上降下大冰雹。
結果被冰雹打死的人，比以色列人用刀殺死的還多。
這就是神的作為。
有時候我們以為：
「這件事情要靠我自己解決。」
但神提醒我們：
你要忠心去做你應該做的部分，但真正的得勝是在神手中。
三、約書亞求神使日頭停住
戰爭還沒有完成，約書亞看見敵人即將逃走，就向神禱告。
約書亞記10:12說：
「日頭啊，你要停在基遍；月亮啊，你要止住在亞雅崙谷。」
結果日頭停住，月亮止住，直到以色列人向敵人報仇。
這是聖經中非常令人震撼的一幕。
重點不只是「日頭停住」這個神蹟，更重要的是：
約書亞相信神能夠介入不可能的事情。
約書亞沒有因為環境困難就停止禱告。
他相信：
神若吩咐我去做，神也能夠為我成就祂的旨意。
四、五王被擒拿
五個亞摩利王逃到洞裡躲藏。
約書亞知道後，就把洞口封住，等戰事完成以後，再把五王帶出來。
約書亞叫以色列的軍長把腳踏在這些王的頸項上，並且說：
「你們不要懼怕，也不要驚惶，應當剛強壯膽。因為耶和華必這樣待你們所要攻打的一切仇敵。」
這句話非常值得我們思想。
神不是叫我們靠自己勇敢，而是因為神與我們同在，所以我們可以剛強。
五、約書亞記第10章給我們的幾個提醒
1. 面對困難，不要先看敵人，要先看神
我們遇到困難的時候，很容易一直想：
「問題有多大？」
「我有沒有能力？」
「還有沒有辦法？」
約書亞記10章提醒我們：
不要只看環境，要抬頭看神。
2. 信守承諾是一件重要的事情
基遍人曾經欺騙以色列人，但約書亞仍然記得自己的誓約。
這提醒我們，基督徒的生命應該是一個值得信任的生命。
我們說過的話、答應過的事情，不應該隨意反悔。
3. 禱告可以把不可能的事情帶到神面前
約書亞敢向神求一件非常大的事情。
這並不是說我們每一次禱告，神都一定照我們所要求的方式成就；而是說：
我們不要因為事情看起來不可能，就不敢把它帶到神面前。
我們可以把最困難的事情交給神。
4. 真正的得勝屬於神
以色列人確實需要出去爭戰，但經文反覆讓我們看見神的工作。
冰雹是神降下的。
敵人的潰亂是神造成的。
日頭停住是神所行的神蹟。
所以我們可以努力，但不要把榮耀歸給自己。
人可以盡自己的責任，但得勝最終是從神而來。
禱告
親愛的天父，
感謝祢讓我們讀到約書亞記第10章。
主啊，我們承認，很多時候我們面對困難，就容易害怕、煩躁、心裡紛亂。我們一直看環境、看人的能力、看問題有多大，卻忘記了抬頭仰望祢。
求祢赦免我們的小信。
主啊，求祢把約書亞那種對祢的信心放在我們心裡。當我們面對自己無法解決的事情，求祢叫我們不要恐懼，而是來到祢面前禱告。
「不要怕，因為耶和華與我們同在。」
主啊，求祢安靜我們的心。
把我們裡面所有的煩躁、憂慮、混亂和不安，都交在祢手中。
有些事情我們不能控制，有些結果我們不能掌握，有些問題我們不知道怎樣解決。
但我們知道：
祢仍然坐在寶座上，祢仍然掌權。
求祢幫助我們忠心做好自己應該做的事情，然後把結果交給祢。
當我們遇到「五王」一樣的困難時，求祢叫我們記得：我們不是孤單地爭戰，祢是與我們同行的神。
主啊，也求祢保守我們成為一個信實的人，叫我們說話算話，守住自己的承諾，在人面前活出基督的生命。
最後，求祢賜我們一顆安靜的心。
讓我們今天不再被環境牽著走，不再被憂慮控制，而是安靜地仰望祢。
願我們可以宣告：
「耶和華是我的神，祂與我同在，所以我不用害怕。」
奉主耶穌基督得勝的名禱告，
阿們。

Joshua chapter 10: God fights for His people
Joshua chapter 10 is a very important passage that shows us that when God’s people face a powerful enemy, what truly determines victory is not human power, but God’s presence and His works
1. The five kings join forces to attack Gibion
When the king of Jerusalem heard that Gibeon had made a covenant with Israel, he was very afraid. Gibeon was a great city, larger than Ai, and the people in it were very brave.
So the five kings of the Amorites joined forces to attack Gibeon.
The Gibeons hurriedly sent men to Gilgal to find Joshua, pleading with him:
“Come up quickly to save us and help us, for the kings of the Amorites living in the hill country have gathered against us.”
Joshua did not abandon the Gibeon. Although the Israelites had previously made a covenant with the Gibeons because they had not consulted the Lord, since they had already sworn an oath, they would keep the covenant.
This reminds us:
Faithfulness is not only true when it benefits us.
Joshua chose to take responsibility and lead the Israelite army to help Gibeon.
2. God Himself fought for the Israelites
God said to Joshua:
“Do not fear them; for I have delivered them into your hands.”
This statement is very important.
Joshua faced an army of five kings, whose numbers and strength far exceeded those of Israel, but God did not tell Joshua to first count the number of enemies, but instead told him:
“I have handed them over to you.”
The Israelites launched a sudden attack on the enemy forces, and the LORD threw the enemy into confusion before them.
Even more remarkable is that the scripture says:
The Lord sent down a great hailstorm from heaven.
As a result, more people were killed by hail than by the Israelites with the sword.
This is the work of God.
Sometimes we think:
“This matter is something I have to resolve myself.”
But God reminds us:
You must faithfully do what you should, but true victory is in God’s hand.
3. Joshua prayed for God to stop the sun
Before the war ended, Joshua saw the enemy about to flee and prayed to God.
Joshua 10:12 says:
“O sun, stop in Gibeon; O moon, stop in the Valley of Ayaron.”
As a result, the sun stopped and the moon stopped until the Israelites avenged their enemies.
This is a truly striking scene in the Bible.
The key point is not just the miracle of “the sun stopping,” but more importantly:
Joshua believed that God could intervene in impossible things.
Joshua did not stop praying because of difficult circumstances.
He believes:
If God commands me to act, He can also fulfill His will for me.
Four and five kings were captured
The five Amorite kings fled into the cave to hide.
When Joshua learned of this, he sealed the entrance of the cave and waited until the battle was over before bringing the five kings out.
Joshua had the commanders of Israel put their feet on the necks of these kings and said:
“Do not be afraid or discouraged; be strong and courageous. For the Lord will deal with all your enemies that you are about to conquer.”
This statement is very worth pondering.
God does not tell us to be brave on our own, but because He is with us, we can be strong.
5. Several reminders from Joshua chapter 10
1. When facing difficulties, don’t look at your enemies first; look to God first
When we encounter difficulties, it’s easy to keep thinking:
“How big is the problem?”
“Do I have the ability?”
“Is there any other way?”
Joshua chapter 10 reminds us:
Don’t just look at the environment; look up to God.
2. Keeping promises is important
The Gibeons had deceived the Israelites, but Joshua still remembered his oath.
This reminds us that the Christian life should be a life worthy of trust.
Words we have said and promises should not be easily backed out.
3. Prayer can bring the impossible before God
Joshua dared to ask God for something very significant.
This does not mean that every time we pray, God will always fulfill it as we ask; rather, it says:
We should not hesitate to bring things before God just because they seem impossible.
We can entrust the most difficult tasks to God.
4. True victory belongs to God
The Israelites did need to go out and fight, but the scriptures repeatedly show us God’s work.
Hail is a sign sent by God.
The enemy’s chaos is caused by God.
The sun stopping is a miracle performed by God.
So we can work hard, but not take glory for ourselves.
People can fulfill their responsibilities, but victory ultimately comes from God.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for letting us read Joshua chapter 10.
Lord, we admit that many times when we face difficulties, we are easily afraid, restless, and confused in our hearts. We keep looking at the environment, people’s abilities, and the size of the problems, but forget to look up to You.
Please forgive our little faith.
Lord, please place in our hearts the kind of faith Joshua had in You. When we face problems we cannot solve, please tell us not to be afraid, but to come before You and pray.
“Do not be afraid, for the Lord is with us.”
Lord, please quiet our hearts.
Put all our restlessness, worry, confusion, and unease into Your hands.
There are some things we cannot control, some outcomes we cannot grasp, and some problems we do not know how to solve.
But we know:
You still sit on the throne, You still reign.
Please help us faithfully do what we ought to do, and then hand the results over to You.
When we encounter difficulties like the ‘Five Kings,’ please remind us: we are not fighting alone; You are the God who walks with us
Lord, please also keep us as faithful people, so that we may keep our promises, and live out the life of Christ before others.
Finally, please grant us a heart of peace.
Let us no longer be led by our circumstances today, nor controlled by worry, but instead quietly look to You.
May we declare:
“The Lord is my God, and He is with me, so I have no need to fear.”
I pray in the victorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen.
