On the wall of a pagan city destined for destruction lived a prostitute. Rahab would have remained anonymous in history had it not been that Jehovah knew her heart and saw they she had faith and a desire to leave her sinful life and love the true God. The chances of that happening would seem to have been as remote a her visiting the moon, but for God. He had Moses send the two spies to Jericho to gather intel and made sure they ended up checking in at her hostal for the night. What follows is one of the most beautiful stories of grace in all of the Old Testament. (WT36

Few people would appear less likely to believe in Christ than this man who was confined to a life among the tombs and caves of Gadara. His looks, his lifestyle, and his attitudes all would seem to indicate a person completely antagonistic to the truth. However, when from a distance he saw the Lord, he ran to worship Him. His testimony is spectacular and it is powerful proof that even though a human heart is enslaved to evil, it can still desire to be free and clean. (WT35)
Spreakers audio: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/24745154 With the possible exception of Daniel, it is hard to find in all of the Old Testament, a better example of Christian faith than Joseph. His discipline, his priorities, his purity, and his faithfulness, made a powerful impression everywhere he went. Through his life, the Lord shows us that we can not only survive the strongest of trials, but also overcome them in such a way that we can come out like gold. This devotional highlights a few of his virtues and analyzes some of God’s methodology in testing His children. (WT34
