Day 53 – No matter what your past may hold, the plans of your future are held in the hands of God.
Today’s reading: Joshua 2:1-4:24.
Joshua 2:1 “And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” And they went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab and lodged there.”
Rahab had a dirty past, she was known as a prostitute in her community, but God had a different view of her and different plans for her future. He got a hold of her heart and cleansed her of her past for He wanted to use her for something HUGE.
Rahab’s faith in the Lord enabled her to save the lives of the Israelite spies and in return they promised to save the lives of Rahab and her family. This lineage would eventually bear the likes of King David and much later our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
See, God can use whoever He chooses whenever He chooses to bring about whatever He chooses. Our past doesn’t define us because our future is Held by the Lord. My past alone is more than colorful, but I know He is using my future to Glorify Him. Don’t let your past hold you back from a relationship with the Lord. Who knows if He isn’t wanting to now use you for such a time as this.
