Today is Tuesday, April 9, 2019, and here is your daily devote. Even after the rescue, God was not done with Rahab. The ending of Joshua 625 tells us that Rahab survived the rest of the conquest. She remained in Israel as part of God's people.
Her story continues in Matthew 1 when we see her in the lineage of Jesus. The woman who was once a prostitute and enemy people was given life by God's mercy, a new people by God's grace, and a vital role in God's plan of redemption by His providence. She surely had no idea what was in store for her on the day she asked a pair of spies to spare her life and when she fell on the mercy of God. And in the same way, we have no way of knowing what is in store for us when we first turn to Jesus and fall on them, trusting Him for God's mercy and grace.
We cannot know what lies ahead of us, both the victories and the tribes, but we can know one thing, that God will use us beyond our greatest expectations, that He is at work providentially to use all we experience for His glory and to continue His unfolding plan of redemption through His Son, Jesus. Think about this. What does the story teach us about trusting God and His plan for our lives? How have you seen God use you in your experiences for His glory?
