Reading for today: Joshua 2:1-3, Hebrews 3:1-6
“Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, ‘Go view the land , especially Jericho.’ So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.” Joshua 2:1
Why did Joshua send out two spies when he knew God had given them the land, and why did they stay with Rahab the harlot? God, working through Joshua, sent the spies to protect her and her family from destruction. God knew Rahab’s heart; she proclaimed Him as the “Supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.” God promises that those who seek Him will find Him.
