Scripture to Read: Joshua 2:22–24
Because Rahab trusted God, the spies were able to return safely. We read in Joshua 2:22–24, “They departed and came to the hill country, and remained there for three days until the pursuers returned. Now the pursuers had sought them all along the road, but had not found them. 23 Then the two men returned and came down from the hill country and crossed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and they related to him all that had happened to them. 24 They said to Joshua, ‘Surely the Lord has given all the land into our hands; moreover, all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before us.’” God protected the spies, and they returned and gave Joshua their report. Joshua knew God was fulfilling His promise and even said, “the Lord has given all the land into our hands.” God always keeps His promises, which is a great reminder to us to cling to Him and the promises He has given us through our Lord Jesus Christ. Just as Joshua trusted all that God had spoken to Him, we must continually be in God’s Word to hear His voice and walk in the Truth He has lovingly given us. God does not want us to walk in blind faith, but to have full knowledge of Him and all that He has for us to do each day. We have so much to be thankful for because of all that He’s already done for us through Christ and for all that is still to come.
