Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.
[4] Being truthful in difficult or dangerous situations. There is one more lesson for to take away from the study, but this time it comes from the experience of Rahab, who told a series of lies, in order to hide the spies. The Christian should not adopt evil ways and means in order to accomplish good. The end does not always justify the means in every situation with the Christian.
And therefore, if Rahab were alive in our day, and the authorities came knocking on her door asking her of the whereabouts of persons, as is the case with many currently, Rahab must tell them the truth, and trust God to mitigate the fallout. The principles and laws of God’s kingdom do not change with time or circumstance, and therefore, the Christian Rahab in our day will have to become accustomed to speaking the truth in all situations, even when it may be risky to herself and others to do so.
In other words, if the wanted persons are hiding in her apartment among the stalks of flax, Rahab must say so, and not resort to telling stories, or white lies to avoid danger. This could be very tough, given the current situation, but it is what will be required as we prepare for the big one.
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
