Strong and Courageous: The Scarlet Cord

Joshua 2
1. The crowd is not always right. Josh 2:1 Joshua sent 2 spies, not 12 like Moses sent. Following 10 of the 12 spies Moses sent had cost Israel many years of trouble.
2. Grab on to the scarlet cord. Josh 2:8-11. Rahab made a great statement of faith by saying, "for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below."
3. When your world is shaking, hang on to God. Josh 6:17 When Israel came to take Jericho and the walls fell down, but Rahab's house in the wall must have survived because of their promise to her, but it would have been shaking.
4. My story is not over! Rahab was a prostitute, but her story did not end there. She became an example of true faith. Don't buy into the lies about myself, believe in God and follow Him! Jas 2:25; Heb 11:31; Mt 1:5-6. No one is beyond God's grace. I am who God says I am!!!!
