An Act of Faith

APR 06, 2024

Today’s Scripture

Hebrews 11:31, MSG

By an act of faith, Rahab, the Jericho harlot, welcomed the spies and escaped the destruction that came on those who refused to trust God.

Today’s Word

In Joshua 2, Rahab was a prostitute in Jericho whose family worshiped idols. She knew she was made for more, but she couldn’t get out of that negative cycle. Then she heard that the God of Israel had parted the Red Sea and delivered the Israelites from slavery. I can imagine her saying, “God of Abraham, if You’re real, save me and deliver me from this dysfunction.” When the two Israelite men came to spy out the city, they were destined to choose Rahab’s door to knock on. She hid them and helped them escape. In return for her act of faith, the Israelites spared Rahab and her family. Now Rahab is listed as one of the heroes of faith and is in the family line of Jesus Christ.

You may have negative baggage in your past, been pushed down, and feel stuck at the very back. Rahab would tell you, “Stay encouraged. God knows how to reverse things.” He will reverse the dysfunction, the shame, and the compromise. Live your faith. You’re going from not valued to being honored, respected, influential. 

Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that You’ve crowned me with favor in spite of the negative baggage from my past. Thank You that when others try to discount me and write me off, You have already counted and written me in. I believe that You are leading me into an amazing future. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
