Rahab - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Rahab - Her Legacy Of Prayer

I know that the LORD has given this land to you and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt. . . . Now then, please swear to me by the LORD that you will show kindness to my family, because I have shown kindness to you.

— Joshua 2:9 – 10, 12

REFLECT ON:	Joshua 2:1 – 21.
PRAISE GOD:	For giving women key roles in his plan of salvation.
OFFER THANKS:	That no one, including ourselves, is beyond the reach of grace.
CONFESS:	Any unwillingness to take risks in order to follow God.
ASK GOD:	To increase your awe of him.

Lift Your Heart

Use a small red ribbon as a bookmark, tie a red ribbon around the pot of a favorite plant, or place some decorative red roping around a dried floral arrangement to remind you of the vital importance of living by faith. Each time you notice your scarlet cord, let it remind you of the lengths Jesus went to rescue you. Ask him, as Rahab asked the Israelites, to watch over and protect every member of your family. Say a silent prayer, asking God to increase your faith. Faith, after all, is what your life and the vitality of your relationship with God depend on.

Father, I praise you for the wonderful and unexpected ways you have acted in my life. Let the knowledge of your faithfulness increase my courage to take the risks that faith demands.
