foreign [Music] hi friends I'm Quinn and I love to share stories from the Bible I have a great story to share today but first I have a question have you ever felt like you needed help with a big job maybe you had to pick up your toys [Music] or put your clothes away it's nice to have help isn't it today's story is about helpers there was a group of people called the Israelites and they were very special to God they were so special he promised them a beautiful land to live in there was another group
of people called the gibeonites they knew that the Israelites were very special to God so they wanted to be friends with them hey hey the Israelites and the gibeonites made a promise to each other and a promise to God that they would never fight each other they also promised to help protect each other there was a king who didn't like that they became friends he was afraid they would be too powerful for his army so he got four other kings to join all their armies together and they went to fight the gibeonlands but remember God's
special people made a promise to help their new friends so their leader Joshua LED his army to help oh they marched all night and surprised the enemy armies the gibeonites were so glad they didn't have to fight alone God helped them in their battle by dropping Giant hailstones on the enemy the battle lasted a long time so long that Joshua was afraid the sun would go down and it would become dark this was a long time ago before light bulbs had been invented and fighting in the dark was really dangerous trusting God to help him
Joshua prayed and told the son and moon to stand still so it could stay daytime and God listened to Joshua the son stayed in the sky the moon didn't rise it stayed daylight because they trusted God Joshua and the Israelites helped their friends win the battle isn't that amazing God listened to Joshua and helped the Israelites you know what else is amazing God listens to our prayers too whatever we say to him we can trust that God hears us I'm so thankful that the same God that helped people in the Bible can help us too
bye everyone thanks for listening to my story [Music]
