Insight – Book of Joshua

In the event of the Battle of Jericho, Rahab – a prostitute woman played a prominent role. When the Israeli spies encountered her, she upfront submitted to God’s decision about the city of Jericho. People of Jericho heard the news and information about the Israelites and their God who has been leading them in a mighty way. She believed in God of Israel by hearing his great wonders and glorious deeds through the wilderness and waters. Moreover the people of Jericho understood the capability and strength of God of Israel.

Apostle Paul writing to Rome (Romans 10:17) Faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of Christ. Likewise, Rahab heard the words about God of Israel, and she surrendered herself to God with a penitent heart and faith which resulted in the salvation of her entire family. On top of that she has received a prominent place in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. So, listening to Word of God followed by penitent faith and belief leads us to salvation and eternal life.

Apart from that, it is always good to share your testimony about the glorious deeds from God in your life as they might help others to revive spiritually.

God blessed Joshua and made him strong and courageous. Joshua has followed a simple funda in his entire life that is believing God and acting according to his plan and instructions. God deals with every situation in our life. He will provide and appoint someone to help us in our needy time.                                                                           God has appointed Rahab to help Israelites as per his plan.                                                                Psalmist mentioned in 37:5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. So, all we have to do is submit to him and act according to his plans though it sounds unbelievable.
