What stood out today:
9 and Rahab said to them, "I know that the LORD has given this land to you and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you.
14 "Our lives for your lives!" the men assured her.
16 Now she had said to them, "Go to the hills so the pursuers will not find you. Hide yourselves there three days until they return, and then go on your way."
17 The men said to her, "This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us 18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down
24 They said to Joshua, "The LORD has surely given the whole land into our hands; all the people are melting in fear because of us."
My response: Jesus, what great pointers to your Gospel! God prepares hearts with a great fear. There is a great exchange, “our lives for your lives.” There is an oath. There is a scarlet cord in the window. The spies hide for three days in the hills. Lastly there is confidence in the Lord, sublime trust.
