"And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
Joshua 10:11
I think this event, and many events in our lives, are designed to remind us that God is in charge and in control. We do our part, but he does way, way more than we can. And I think that these reminders are good, because they keeps us humble and help us remember that we are reliant on the Lord. He teaches us to walk, to learn to be like him, but in this life we aren't going to master that or get even close to his level. Maybe after a couple of billion years of eternity we'll be closer, but right now, we have very little reason to boast (Mosiah 2:24).
Today, let's stay humble and realize that God is in control. Let's turn to him for help, and involve him in all that we do, remembering that he can see farther and knows so much more than we do, and that he welcomes us asking for help.
