Let It Be Known

Joshua 2:8-11 (NIV)
Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof [9] and said to them, "I know that the Lord has given this land to you and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. [10] We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. [11] When we heard of it, our hearts melted and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.

I was reading this today for my quiet time. Something stuck out to me with Rahab, not only was she brave and protected God's people, but what stood out to me is the fact that she heard about the great things that God has done. She said the people of Jericho heard what God had been doing, and everyone else in the town knew as well and knew that God was the God of heaven and the earth below.

When I was reading this, I was thinking, do we show this in a way in which other people have heard the great things that God has done in our lives?

In the offices today, we were saying that we need to start to celebrate the victories of God in lives. We seem to only focus on God working in the brokenness, which is a huge quality of God, but not the only quality.

Rehab heard how God had helped Jacob conquer lands...how? People talked. God was known throughout the land. We need to be spreading how God is moving. We need to spread what God is doing in different ministries, in small groups, through people in the city, that way all know that God is the God of all of heaven and the earth below. So that there will be no doubt that there is just this "something", but THE SOMETHING, God of the universe and have that be undeniable that He exists.

Spread the word, celebrate it, make Him known.
