Scripture:
Joshua 6:17 "Now the city shall be doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent"
Observation:
Little things mean alot! When the spies came to Jericho to spy out the land, they were hidden and brought to safety by a scared postitute. She hid and protected them, then kept their secret. She and her househole were blessed and lived when the entire city died because she honored the people of God. Honor and respect are huge in God's eyes. She honored and respected God and the men representing God enough to take care of them because she had heard about the power of this God they served.
Application:
Honor brings great blessing! Sometimes we take God and His people for granted. He should be feared and his people should be taken care of. Rahab was a harlot who honored God and His servants. She was unclean according to the Law, but she feared and honored God by protecting the spies. May we be people of honor who highly reverance and esteem our God! I believe she and her house was saved because of honor. Thanks John Bevere for teaching us about honor. I honor you today!
Prayer:
Lord, teach me to honor You better by honoring your servants. Help me to not take You for granted, but to esteem You highly. You are amazing and I want to honor You as such. Help me to honor those around me, thus honoring you.
May Your Name be Praised!
Jeff
