I had an amazing sunday, in a way unusual from a typical “great sunday”. The week was actually strewn with all kinds of bumps, ups and downs. I was to preach this morning again, Joshua 2 … was so looking forward to it, because this is such a great chapter.

However, threw a lack of discipline i ended up finishing the sermon 45 minutes before the start of the service. That is NOT how it goes, it is NOT how it should be done. It’s ok when God lays something different on your heart, but if it is due to lack of discipline … it’s a sad sign.

But it was a wake-up call.

I believe in the Holy Spirit and that He guides and enlightens us as Christians. God chose the weak and the broken in this world to proclaim His name, so that no flesh can boast. I had nothing to boast about this morning and it went actually much better than it deserved. It is such a cool chapter, with such an amazing message!

2 points of application:

1. A saving faith (in Rahab)

2. A saving God

The amazing thing about her faith is that she knew so little and yet she believed in such a way that she was ready to sell her city down the drain, just to be on God’s side. We all know so much more than her, but how do we live? Do we also follow Him “blindly”, in faith and joy?

I needed that. It hit me likely the most of all … especially after this week. My own sermon as a point of rebuke and grace to me. Amazing!

Have a great week you all. Let us love Christ and serve God and in that find our entire joy and satisfaction!

in Him
