come kids i have already decided which story i'm going to tell you today
yay let's not waste any more time holy go on with the story all right joseph had no idea
that his brothers were so jealous of him he was confused as to what was happening to him
why did his brother sell him off and why was he traveling to egypt with these strange people
but little did he know that things were about to get worse for him the moment the traders reached
egypt they put up joseph for sale he went on from being the favorite son of jacob to a lowly
slave a man named potiphar bought him as a slave among many others
and gave a good price for him as he was a young strong and good-looking boy potiphar was rich
powerful and an important man in egypt as he was the captain of the guards in the king's palace
joseph was put to work in potiphar's house he worked very hard he did every single job he was
asked to do and did them efficiently at times he wondered why his own brothers did something
as terrible as selling him into slavery but he never complained he knew god was with him he
gained strength from knowing that god was watching everything that was happening god blessed joseph
potiphar noticed how hard working honest and respectful joseph was soon joseph became part
of her's and was put in charge of all the slaves who worked for him joseph was not only in charge
of the household chores but also played an important part in part of his business deals
all the responsibilities that were given to joseph showed how much potiphar trusted him with his home
possession and family joseph looked after the field workers and those who worked in taking
care of the animals under joseph's supervision everything at potiphar's home ran smoothly
potiphar did not have to worry about anything joseph took care of everything everything was
going well for joseph but little did he know that things were going to get worse for him
i hope you kids like the story no doubt about it
the holy tales so are you all ready to listen to a new bible story oh yes of course we are
well then let's start with it today's story is called the sun stand still
joshua and the israelites set up a camp near the people of
gibeon and they agreed with the king of gibeon that they would live in peace however
the king of jerusalem was afraid that these two nations might come together
and attack on his people so the king of jerusalem went to the kings of four other nearby nations
and declared a war on gibeon thinking they would beat the gibeonites in their own plan as soon as
the five nations attacked the king of gibeon immediately sent joshua a message for help
joshua did not ignore him and right away marched his army to the raging battleground
god told joshua don't be afraid of them i am delivering these five nations into your hands
you will win and not one of them will be left standing it took all night for joshua's army
to reach the battlefield but when they did they took the enemy soldiers by surprise
the lord made the enemy soldiers confused and they didn't know what they were doing
this made joshua and his army defeat them easily and chase them away
as the enemies were running away god sent a hailstorm which killed more number of enemy
soldiers than joshua's army did during the battle joshua with all the israelites in front of him
said to god make the sun stand still hold back the moon so that we can have complete victory today
god did it he made the sun stop in the middle of the sky and made it stand still for a full
day and there has never been another day like that everyone knew god was fighting for israel
