Covenant Fufilled

God Instructs the People of God

God's People Learn from Prosperity:
God Protects


Joshua 6:22-25

The Message
 22-24 Joshua ordered the two men who had spied out the land, "Enter the house of the harlot and rescue the woman and everyone connected with her, just as you promised her." So the young spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, and brothers—everyone connected with her. They got the whole family out and gave them a place outside the camp of Israel. But they burned down the city and everything in it, except for the gold and silver and the bronze and iron vessels—all that they put in the treasury of God's house.
 25 But Joshua let Rahab the harlot live—Rahab and her father's household and everyone connected to her. She is still alive and well in Israel because she hid the agents whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

For Reflection
Rahab's city and all the evil that dwelt within was destroyed.  She and her family now reside in God's people.  Salvation has come to Rahab and her family.  The story of Rahab is the story of all of us.  Rahab's conviction about the God of Israel and her willingness to put her life on the line to fulfill God's promise puts her in the protection of God's hand.

Pray
that you believe in the power of God's protection.  Pray that your give your life to God each day.  Thank God for His protecting hand in your life.
