This week, we encounter Joshua sending spies into the land of Canaan in preparation for the invasion. The spies are nearly discovered, but they find refuge with Rahab, a prostitute. Because she saves their lives, the spies reciprocate by agreeing to spare her and her family when Israel invades the city. The spies return to Joshua and share that “The LORD has given all the land into our hands!” As with the Israelites, so with us, seeing God's amazing work in such unlikely places ought to be enough to help all of us move forward into the world with great confidence and holy hope.
