New on Lori's Blog - How a Harlot Named Rahab Became an Example of Faith

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Happy Wednesday!

Reader

“Behold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.” Joshua 2:18

This month, we will celebrate women and examine four very special women in God's Word. Sarah, Hannah, Rahab, and Esther.

I finish our Women of the Bible with Rahab.

Rahab’s life is a beautiful example of the transforming power of faith. Although she had few spiritual advantages and little knowledge of the truth, her heart was drawn to God.

As you read through her story, there are some key themes to learn from.

Faith Can Overcome Labels: Rahab’s identity as a prostitute didn’t limit her from being part of God’s plan.

Lesson: God values faith and obedience over societal labels or past mistakes.

Courage in the Face of Fear: Rahab risked her life to protect the spies and align with God’s purposes.

Lesson: True faith requires boldness and trust in God’s protection.

God’s Redemption is for All: Rahab’s story shows that God’s grace extends to all people, regardless of their background.

Lesson: No one is beyond the reach of God’s transformative power.

The Power of Testimony: Rahab’s declaration of faith inspired the spies and likely influenced her family’s salvation.

Lesson: Sharing your faith can have a profound impact on others.

God Uses Unlikely People: Rahab, a Gentile, and an outsider, was chosen to play a pivotal role in Israel’s history.

Lesson: God often works through unexpected individuals to fulfill His purposes.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about a few more women God gave us as examples to follow in our faith walk!

I have a new devotional for mothers as well. It is 21 days long and explores faith, love, patience, self-care, and more through the lens of motherhood. It is for all moms, the seasoned, the new mom, or somewhere in between; you will find encouragement, inspiration, and reflections as you navigate the beautiful and challenging world of motherhood.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, I have shared the devotional verses in my stories. Check out the devotional and stories today!

New on Lori's Blog - Do you know what type of Soil is in your heart?

Happy Wednesday! Reader "And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose, they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds...
