Joshua 2:2 Bible Study Verse Reflection

Joshua 2:2 Chapter Summary:

Two Israelite spies sent by Joshua enter the city of Jericho and stay with Rahab, a prostitute. She hides them from the king of Jericho in return for their promise of protection for her and her family during the Israelite invasion.

Joshua 2:2 in context:

1 Then Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp at Acacia Grove. He instructed them, “Scout out the land on the other side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho.” So the two men set out and came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there that night.

2 But someone told the king of Jericho, “Some Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land.” 3 So the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab: “Bring out the men who have come into your house, for they have come here to spy out the whole land.”

4 Rahab had hidden the two men...

Joshua 2:2 Verse Reflection:

Who is this "someone" and why does God let "someone" act against his people?

Sometimes God will use "someone(s)" who can do actions against you to test your motives and save others (ex: Rahab, Job among others and Cross-Refs: Proverbs 16:2, Proverbs 21:2, Proverbs 24:12, 1 Samuel 16:7, Luke 16:15, Jeremiah 17:10, Romans 8:27, Revelation 2:23)

In this verse, this "someone" could have been a jealous Israelite, or a random lover or hater of Rahab, or even someone extremely patriotic since only a strong emotion caused them to risk going all the way to the king of Jericho to share this news confidently. This could even have been an angel of God though this theory is most unlikely since it would have been made clear in bible.

What can we learn about God: There are likely plenty of people who are readily available for God and Satan to use for their purposes and such people in terms of morality could be willing to do immoral or unwise actions, or even moral actions that still negatively impact you but praise God since ultimately they are still under the control of God's sovereign power. (Romans 8:28)

Questions for ourselves: If you are aware of such "someone(s)" in your life, are you willing to trust in God's sovereignty that they are still under God's plan (like Judas Iscariot was under God's plan by betraying Jesus Christ intentionally)? Are you willing to forgive and pray for this person(s) like Jesus prayed "Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing?" (Luke 23:34)

Praise God for everything He has planned for us to make us more Christ-like on this earth. (Romans 8:29)

Why is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit called the “unforgivable sin?”

Matthew 12:31

Every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is often called the “unforgivable sin.” It is unforgivable because it reflects a settled, hard-hearted attitude of defiant hostility toward God. A person who has this attitude will never come to God for forgiveness, and therefore he or she is out of reach of his forgiveness. If you’re worried about whether you have committed the unforgivable sin, you haven’t. All you have to do is ask God to forgive you, and he will.

Mark 3:28-30

“I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.” Jesus metold them this because they were saying, “He’s possessed by an evil spirit.”

Attributing Jesus’ Spirit-wrought works to an evil spirit blasphemously identifies the Holy Spirit with a demon. Those who persistently mistake the Holy Spirit for God’s adversaries have so hardened themselves to the work of the Holy Spirit that they will never be reconciled with God.

Romans 8:38

I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

One of the tools the enemy uses to detour and defeat believers is the fear that we have, through actual sins in our lives, blasphemed the Holy Spirit and are thereby irredeemable. Here Paul reminds us that the bond between us and God established in Jesus cannot be broken by anything.

Psalm 103:3

He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.

No sin is so big or so terrible that God can’t or won’t forgive it if you ask him. God has seen it all, and he still offers everyone his complete and unconditional love. However, an attitude of defiant hostility toward God’s Holy Spirit prevents people from accepting his forgiveness and pushes away their only hope of forgiveness. Only those who don’t want God’s forgiveness are out of its reach.

May, 5 (Evening) Devotion

“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.”

Proverbs 16:20

Wisdom is man’s true strength; and, under its guidance, he best accomplishes the ends of his being. Wisely handling the matter of life gives to man the richest enjoyment, and presents the noblest occupation for his powers; hence by it he finds good in the fullest sense. Without wisdom, man is as the wild ass’s colt, running hither and thither, wasting strength which might be profitably employed. Wisdom is the compass by which man is to steer across the trackless waste of life; without it he is a derelict vessel, the sport of winds and waves. A man must be prudent in such a world as this, or he will find no good, but be betrayed into unnumbered ills. The pilgrim will sorely wound his feet among the briers of the wood of life if he does not pick his steps with the utmost caution. He who is in a wilderness infested with robber bands must handle matters wisely if he would journey safely. If, trained by the Great Teacher, we follow where he leads, we shall find good, even while in this dark abode; there are celestial fruits to be gathered this side of Eden’s bowers, and songs of paradise to be sung amid the groves of earth. But where shall this wisdom be found? Many have dreamed of it, but have not possessed it. Where shall we learn it? Let us listen to the voice of the Lord, for he hath declared the secret; he hath revealed to the sons of men wherein true wisdom lieth, and we have it in the text, “Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” The true way to handle a matter wisely is to trust in the Lord. This is the sure clue to the most intricate labyrinths of life; follow it and find eternal bliss. He who trusts in the Lord has a diploma for wisdom granted by inspiration: happy is he now, and happier shall he be above. Lord, in this sweet eventide walk with me in the garden, and teach me the wisdom of faith.

What living well looks like

If you’re a good athlete, it shows every time you compete. If you’re a fantastic cook, the truth comes out in the kitchen. If you have a brilliant mind, you can’t help but solve problems. If you have a stunning voice, such talent can’t stay hidden.

We might present ourselves a certain way, but who we are will eventually come out. This is why James encourages Christians to prove who they are through the way they live. To prove something simply means to show that it’s true.

Do you say that you trust God? Prove it by starting your day with a genuine confidence in Him.

Do you say that you love your neighbor? Show it by going out of your way to notice, serve, and honor the people around you.

Do you call yourself a follower of Jesus? Prove it by living your life in a way that reflects His heart. This doesn’t mean you’ll be perfect, but it does mean that even when you mess up, you will still try to make things right. And not because you must work for God’s favor or earn His love, but because your actions reveal what is happening inside of you. As Jesus said in Luke 6:45, “… What you say flows from what is in your heart.”

So, how can we live an honorable life? By doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. Not worldly wisdom, but godly wisdom. When we stick close to God, who invented wisdom, He transforms us from the inside out.

So if you claim to be wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by the way you live. And when questions arise—go to the One who has answers. Even on the most overwhelming of days, trust that God is by your side.

Today, ask yourself: “Do my thoughts match what people see on the outside?” Then, ask God: “Show me how to do what You’ve called me to do, and be who You’ve called me to be.”

Temptations of Spiritual Leaders

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Dr. Frank Damazio (@frankdamazio)

instagram

Administrative Focus Over Serving People: The temptation to prioritize managing things over serving people out of love and calling.

Mechanical Approach to Spiritual Matters: The temptation to become mechanical and robotic in handling spiritual matters, risking becoming a professional minister rather than a servant.

Coasting on Spiritual Maturity: The temptation to coast on one's own spiritual maturity, mistakenly equating leadership with maturity.

Seeking Joy in Material Security: The temptation to seek joy and happiness based on material security, rather than spiritual fulfillment.

Becoming Hardened Toward People: The temptation to become hardened and distrustful toward people due to past disappointments and disillusionment.

Finding Satisfaction in Others' Failures: The temptation to find satisfaction in the failure of another leader, often driven by jealousy.

Measuring Success by Numbers: The temptation to measure success in ministry by numbers, buildings, and budgets, rather than focusing on spiritual quality and maturity.

Reacting Against New Truth: The temptation to react against new truths based on who proclaims them, rather than evaluating them objectively.

Excusing Little Sins and Shortcomings: The temptation to excuse minor sins, habits, and shortcomings due to stress or sacrificial lifestyles.

Using People for Personal Gain: The temptation to use people for personal gain, to boost ministry status, or to achieve personal goals.

Relying on Habits Over Living Christ's Life: The temptation to rely on learned habits and legalistic principles instead of living out the life of Christ through abiding in Him.

Becoming Presumptuous About Sacred Things: The temptation to let the things of God become too familiar, leading to presumptuousness regarding sacred matters.

Replacing the Precious with Lesser Substitutes: Drawing from 1 Kings 14:26, where leaders replaced shields of gold with shields of brass, symbolizing the danger of replacing what is precious with lesser or second-best substitutes.

Please pray for your church leaders, elders, and all those are in authority so that they may not fall into temptations and if they are already in temptations, then they get delivered from them by power of Holy Spirit. Praise God for interceding for all of us in heaven so that we all may have chance to repent of our sins and come closer to you. May we all have the necessary wisdom to help live lives that bring glory to you daily. Amen!

Beyond the Run: Lessons from a Half Marathon on Running and Life

Running a half marathon—a journey of 13.1 miles—is an achievement that once seemed unattainable to me. My affinity for running was always present, yet the idea of surpassing a 5K (3.1 miles) appeared distant. But I embraced the challenge and succeeded, gaining profound insights about the sport and, more importantly, about myself. Embrace patience in your pace. My prior experience had only taken…
