| And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. | ||
| Joshua 2:1 (a) | ||
| Joshua, a picture of Jesus, is about to take the Israelites across the Jordan River into the Land of Promise. But before he does, he does something that reminds me of what Jesus did. That is, he sends two men to go before him into the Land. In Luke 10, we read that Jesus sent seventy men out in groups of two to go before Him, to be His witnesses. The two men Joshua sends think they’re going to spy. But in reality, they’ll be witnesses. The same is true of you and me. We think we’re school teachers, insurance salesmen, or stockbrokers. But we’re not. We’re undercover agents for the Kingdom. God has planted us in those positions to be His witnesses. The two men Joshua sent out were the first of the Israelites to experience the Promised Land. So too, it is as we let the Lord shine through us in His supernaturally natural way in our work places, schools, and neighborhoods that we will experience the abundance of the Spirit-filled life as well.
