According to the Psalmist, God made the sun to shine during the day to show how much He loves us, and His love never goes away. The sun is like a big, warm hug from God to remind us of His kindness every day.

Psalms 136:8: The sun to rule by day: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [to rule...: Heb. for the rulings by day]

Contradiction with Joshua 10:13

Joshua 10:13 describes the sun standing still over Gibeon, which contradicts the regular cycle of the sun described in Psalms 136:8, where the sun is given the duty to rule the day.

Joshua 10:13: And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. [Jasher: or, the upright?]

The contradiction is that it suggests the moon emits its own light, while scientifically, the moon reflects the light of the sun and does not produce its own light.
