THEY CAN TELL
Today's reading: Joshua 1-5

"Before the spies went to sleep that night, Rahab went up on the roof to talk with them...For the Lord your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below." Joshua 2:8-11 NLT

Rahab had heard about these God-people.

She'd heard the accounts of provision, guidance and victory.

She and the ungodly townspeople of mighty Jericho were shaking in their boots knowing these children of Yahweh were so close to their fortress.

Encroaching upon their comfortable lifestyles.

Having more than they had ever dreamed of having.

So I ask myself, and I'm asking you, too...

What are the folks around you saying in regards to your God and your walk with Him?

Are they believing God is mighty because of all they've heard you say about Him?

Are they beginning to be convinced of His greatness because of all they have seen you allow Him to do in your life?

Have they watched Him break some of your addictions?

Have they been perched on the sidelines as He gave you grace enough to pray instead or retaliate?

Have they seen Him make a change in your attitude?

Have they watched as you have refused, with His help, now to be drawn into ungodliness?

Have they witnessed you turning the other cheek in godly love?

Have they heard a new vocabulary come from your mouth--one of praise, versus condemnation?

As God's forgiven children, we are the new folks on the block--and we're bringing Him into the community He has us serving in.

What are our lives saying about Him?
