The Reward for those Who Believe

Scripture Josh 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 are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

Observation: Rehab knew that the Lord blessed the Israelites and was with them. Because of her belief her life and the lives of her family were spared. She feared the Lord and did what honored Him by hiding His children and in return He remembered her and kept her safe. God never goes back on His word, they could have still killed her with the rest of the town the men were already saved, but He never forgets and rewards those who obey Him.

Application: Each day I need to listen and obey my Lord, not just for the reward, but to show Him I love Him. If you love someone you want to please that person by doing what they desire and that is my desire is to please my Lord. Listen and obey are my instructions knowing no matter what might be happening my Lord is faithful and will always be there

Prayer: My Lord give your servants orders to follow. May I honor you with my obedience and love. Guide me in everything that you want of me and increase my faith that I will never fear anything else.
