expecting him to overcome

Hebrews 11:30-31 (JDV)

Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being marched around by the Israelites for seven days.
Hebrews 11:31 By faith Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed.

expecting him to overcome

The Israelites knew the wall of Jericho was a formidable obstacle, but they also knew that it was not an obstacle to their God. Rahab knew the danger she was putting herself in by helping the Israelite spies. She had heard about the Israelite God so expected him to prevail over the city.

Our task as believers is to recognize all the obstacles and powers that must be overcome and to expect our God to overcome them.
