Rehab, the Harlot

Good morning. 

We are in Joshua this morning.

Be strong and courageous said The LORD to Joshua. 

Verse 5 is a promise: 5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Wouldn’t you like a promise like that? Can you think of a similar New Testament promise, by the way, the Old Testament promise is still valid.   Hebrews 13:5

Do you think the promise of verse 5 helped Joshua to be strong and courageous? Do you have verses of Scripture memorized that help you to be strong and courageous?

Chapter 2 of Joshua opens with Rehab welcoming the Spies and the Spies have no names.
Actually, I am certain they do have names but their names are not recorded for us.  Our names don’t have to be known for GOD to do great work, do they? 

Rehab, the harlot, that’s the name she is known by, but what I remember about Rehab is who she became when she believed GOD. 
Who could we become if we would just believe GOD? 

Until Next time, Holy hugs, Kathie

I borrowed this from a Friend’s Facebook page. It’s TRUTH. And we have the opportunity to live it today and perhaps tomorrow. (See James 3:14)

Truth!

Joshua 24:14-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

14 Now therefore, [reverently] fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth; put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the [Euphrates] River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.

15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

16 The people answered, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods;

And the GOD we CHOOSE today will govern every other choice we make today. Let us choose wisely!

Would you oblige me on this one?  I am preparing for Sunday School – Bible Study class in the morning and I’d like to carry your thoughts with me to class – anonymous,  if you prefer.  Here goes.

Israelite judges functioned to resolve civil disputes and presided over criminal hearings but they also served as moral leaders of the nation and military leaders in times of war. An Israelite Judge had broad authority but he or she was not a king.  Deborah was the only female Judge in the Old Testament. Chapters 4 and 5 of Judges speak of her.

What do you make of this?  Does this encourage you? Offend you? What does it do for you to know GOD set a female judge in place in Israel and she fulfilled this position fully, including military battle?

From experience, some of you prefer to respond via email rather than the comment section contained here in the post which is okay with me.  Click HERE for an email window.

Thanks for your help and happy weekend to you!!
