Joshua 2:8-11<\/cite> Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone\u2019s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When the 12 spies of Israel went to explore the land that God had promised them, it was a woman named Rahab that told them: \u201cI know that the Lord has given you the land\u201d.<\/p>\n

Did you notice? God gave her the special honour of announcing this truth.<\/p>\n

Rahab had heard of Israel\u2019s God. She believed He was mighty, majestic and merciful. Not only did she believe, she said confidently that God had the power to give the land to Israel, and that He is the ruler of all heaven and earth.<\/p>\n

She believed that He was so kind that He would save her, even though she lived in Canaan among the enemies of Israel. Then, she obeyed God by hiding the spies from danger.<\/p>\n

Have you heard of God? Do you believe as Rahab did? If you believe, have you obeyed God\u2019s Word? Hearing and believing must be followed by obeying. That is true faith.<\/p>\n

God does not need successful people to do His work. He needs faithful people.<\/p>\n

Besides Rahab, the Bible is full of examples of people whom the world thinks \u201ccannot make it\u201d. But by God\u2019s power and love, they become people who \u201cmade it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Some examples from the Bible are Matthew the tax collector, Zacchaeus the chief tax collector and Paul the Pharisee who killed Christians.<\/p>\n

Do you believe that? Will you let God change your friends, family and neighbours from non-Christians to Christians through you?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
