God's Unexpected Encouragement
Some of our greatest encouragements can come in the most unexpected ways!
When the two spies entered the land (Joshua 2), they were discovered and had to quickly find a place to hide. No one would look for two Jewish men at the house or a harlot—right? Little did they know that God would use Rehab to encourage and protect them. I’m sure they didn’t see that one coming!
We see in our own life that God often uses unlikely people to accomplish His perfect will in our lives. He will use them to give us a good dose of encouragement, confirm His will, His calling, or just to point us in the right direction. God is creative in who and how He uses people in our lives. If we are open — looking and listening — we won’t miss His divine instruments. Don’t discount the unlikely as a messenger from God. Instead, be open to Him using anyone. Who knows what will become of them and how the Lord may in turn use you in their life like the spies were used to save Rehab’s life. Just some food for thought on this Wednesday!
