Unexpected Help

Joshua 2:1-14

Rahab and the Spies

4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they had come from. 5 At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate, the men left. I don't know which way they went. Go after them quickly. You may catch up with them." 6 (But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax she had laid out on the roof.) 7 So the men set out in pursuit of the spies on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.

Bee's Thoughts:

This passage reminds me of a joke I heard some time ago. It's true that many times God let satan foot the bill for us. :) Help can just come our way at the right time... God is always on time. He can use non-believers to help believers to accomplish His purpose, just like in the case of Joshua above, and also in the story of Joseph (Old Testatment). In return, God also blesses the non-believers who have unknowingly provided helps to the believers. Isn't that good?

Dear Lord,
Thank You for always providing unexpected helps for us when we need them most. Thank You that You will take care of us and our needs at the right time. Thank You for Your faithfulness always. Amen.
