"For we have heard how the Lord dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings you completely destroyed across the Jordan."
Joshua 2:10
Joshua sent two spies into Jericho to bring back any information they could about its defenses. There, the spies met one of the bible's most interesting one-time-appearance characters: Rahab. From Rahab, the men learn that Jericho has heard all about the signs and wonders which God used to free Israel from Egypt. They are afraid, for they know where Israel is headed - straight across the Jordan towards their own land... and they have God on their side. After a few days hiding in the wilderness and waiting for their pursuers to go home, the spies return to Joshua with this information.
Question of the Day:
If the men of Jericho lost heart, and their courage failed, because the Lord God Almighty was against them, how much more must all the demons fear to know that He is fighting for us? When we face temptations, we know God has already won that war... and the evil one knows it, too.
Prayer of the Day:
Thank You for bringing peace to my heart and soul. Continue Your good work that You started within me; carry it on to completion. Do not let me switch sides and go against You. Keep me wholly Yours, protect me, and remind all those who would oppose my Spiritual growth that You have already won the war, and claimed me as Your own. You reside in my heart, and You protect Your land from the evil which tries to invade. Amen!
