Description
Today's reading covers Joshua 10 and Proverbs 11:25–28. The reflection follows the coalition of five Amorite kings formed to punish Gibeon for its treaty with Israel, and Joshua's integrity in honoring that covenant despite having been deceived into it. Strategy and divine intervention converge as God sends hailstones and extends daylight — the famous "sun stood still" account — to secure a decisive victory. In Proverbs 11:25–28, the discussion covers a cluster of proverbs echoing the golden rule: blessing others leads to being blessed, generosity over stinginess, diligence over restless ambition, and flourishing rooted in righteousness rather than riches.
