When God promises us something, He means it - He does it. He promised the Israelites they would live in the land He gave them, the Promised Land. They had to follow Him to get there. It can be sooo difficult to follow Him, we usually begin the journey following Him and then somehow we decided consciously or unconsciously to take the lead and it is a disaster until we repent and follow Him.
In the story of Rahab and the spies, we see a visible sign of the covenant yet to come, the scarlet cord - a visible and physical symbol of God' protection and deliverance. The scarlet cord worked, but how much more we have in the Blood of Jesus - our Messiah, our Deliverer, our Healer, our Passover Lamb, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords.
Let's give Him some praise!

Amen! His promises always are fulfilled. What I loved about Rahab what that she barely shut the door after the spies left and she was tying that scarlet cord on the door!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful that God uses the most unlikely people to do great things through.

I just came across your blog for the first time and what a neat idea for a blog! I began reading through "The Narrated Bible in Chronological Order" quite some time ago. I took a break from it and am now doing an indepth study of the book of Ruth. What an awesome book it is!
