Conquering Hazor

No fixed feast day in the calendar

Joshua defeats the northern coalition led by Jabin, king of Hazor, securing the land.

Facing the Greatest Trials Through Faithfulness

After mastering the South, Joshua faced the northern coalition led by Jabin, king of Hazor. This was a powerful alliance with many chariots and a large army. However, following the Lord's command, Joshua launched a surprise attack at the waters of Merom. Israel defeated this army, burned the chariots, and took Hazor, the most important stronghold of the North. This victory completed the conquest of most of the Promised Land, showing that no power can resist God's will. Joshua carried out exactly what Moses had taught, proving his absolute faithfulness.

Prayer

Faithfulness to the End Wins the Victory

Do not fear the power of the world. Even facing immense worldly strength, believers need not fear when they are in God’s hands.
Faithfully doing God's will bears lasting fruit. Faithfulness in carrying out God's will is the source of all lasting success.

Persevere in doing God’s will until the end; He will grant you the ultimate victory.

Prayer

Lord, grant me the perseverance to always be faithful to You until the end of my life. Amen.
