God of Extremes


Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed,
Did you know God will go to extreme measures for His children? He will do insane things sometimes to let us know He hears our cries. Joshua was in a battle and the day was coming to a close. He realized he needed more time to close the deal and win the battle. God made the sun and moon to stand still and gave Joshua time to win the fight he was in.
God caused the earth to rotate backwards 10 degrees on the sundial just to confirm to Hezekiah that he had fifteen more years to live. Never before in history nor since has this happened. Why would God do such a thing for man?
The most radical thing God did is to send His only begotten Son to die for the sins of the world. Imagine how extreme a measure this must have been for God. To pour Himself into a body of flesh so that we might have life. Yes, God goes to extremes when it come to His children, but He also did it for those who are lost. There is not a person alive today, or has ever lived, that Jesus did not die for.
