C. Miracles of the Hailstones (V11)

Three miracles

Joshua did no ask the Lord to do this.

More died from hailstones than the children of Israel killed with the sword (God’s way is so much better than us)

None of the people of God were affected by the hailstones.

2. Lessons

Leave it to God to do “his type” of miracles (Don’t put God in a box, there is no one type of method for all circumstances)

Expect the unexpected

Never taught of asking miracle for the work extension for God.

Unrepeated miracle - never before , never after.
