Day 18: Courage Certified: Spying Out Jericho
Welcome: Following God can be an unsettling business. Though it feels weak, sometimes we need that last little bit of confirmation from the Lord that what we are doing pleases Him. Watch today as the Lord goes above and beyond to certify the mission of Israel.
Background: The plan is to cross the Jordan and begin the conquest of the Promised Land by taking out Jericho first. Like a wise commander, Joshua seeks to scout out the city before attacking.
Read: Joshua 2:1-24
Highlight: “I know that the Lord has given you the land…for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.”
You? God asks us to display courage in many ways. In what way do you need some certification for your faith? Don’t be afraid to ask questions and seek confirmation. Take the next step and watch God show up in a very real way.
Pray: God, we all need more guidance, wisdom, and confirmation in our faith. We admit that our faith is small and often lacking. Thank you for providing exactly what we need when we need it.
