The Sun Will Stand Still for You
God loves us too much to let the enemy steal our prophetic tomorrow. That truth has been echoing in my spirit lately. Sometimes life feels like the enemy has stolen too much — time, opportunities, relationships, even hope. But I want to remind you today that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His promises are not fragile. His Word does not expire. He said in Jeremiah 29:11 that He knows the plans He has for us—plans to prosper us, not to harm us, to give us hope and a future. That means even when the night feels long and the battle is fierce, the sun will come out tomorrow.
I think about Joshua standing before God in Joshua 10:12–13. The children of Israel were in battle, and the day was slipping away. The victory wasn’t yet complete, but Joshua had the audacity to ask God to make the sun stand still. And the Word declares that the sun obeyed. It stopped in its tracks until the people of God had finished avenging themselves against their enemies. That moment shows us something profound—God will defy the very laws of nature to make sure you win.
There are times in life when it feels like we’re running out of time—when the sun is setting too fast on our dreams, our relationships, or our faith. But the God who caused the sun to pause for Joshua will pause time for you if that’s what it takes to fulfill His word. You will not lose what God has promised you. The enemy cannot steal your prophetic tomorrow.
In one of my personal reflections, I wrote a poem about God’s love for us—a love so deep and sacred that even creation joined in its rhythm. Heaven sang over us before we ever knew the song. The angels danced and fought battles we couldn’t see, clearing the path for us to walk in destiny. There were seasons of sorrow, seasons of silence, and times we thought the night would never end. But then God spoke, “Let the sun stand still.”
What that means in our lives is powerful. God sometimes hides us in pain so He can reveal His glory. He allows seasons of waiting—not because He’s punishing us, but because He’s preparing us. Just like the dew that falls before the dawn, there’s a refreshing that comes right before breakthrough. When we finally surrender and trust Him, the night ends, and the sun rises again — not just for light, but as a prophetic declaration that we have won.
Maybe you’re in that in-between season right now — the space between warfare and victory. You’ve prayed, fasted, and believed, but it seems like nothing is moving. I want to tell you today, don’t give up. Even if the sun seems to be setting on your dreams, God can make it stand still until the victory is complete. He won’t allow the enemy to close a chapter that He has already written for your good.
The same God who held the sun in the sky for Joshua is holding time for you. He’s holding space for your healing. He’s holding back defeat until your deliverance is fully formed. He’s holding tomorrow in His hands, and when the time is right, He’ll let the sun shine again.
So lift your head, wipe your tears, and stand firm in faith. The night may have felt endless, but dawn is breaking. Your prophetic tomorrow is protected by a faithful God who cannot lie. And if He has to defy the laws of the universe for you to win — He will. The sun will come out tomorrow.
