When the spies of Joshua’s day made their way to Jericho, there they found Rahab, who told them the Canaanites had already heard about the God of the Hebrews:
“I know that the Lord has given you this land and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and everyone who lives in the land is panicking because of you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings you completely destroyed across the Jordan. When we heard this, we lost heart, and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below” (Josh 2:9-11).
As you prepare to lead others this weekend, know that God is already working in lives you will get to influence. You are not alone in your work.
