Rahab is probably one of the less
obscure women in the Bible. Unfortunately, I have heard people trying
to use her as an example that it is okay to lie at times. But she had not
known God's law at that time.
What she did know was the awesome power
of God. The true God was not just some stone idol in a temple. Others among
the people of Jericho saw God's power and trembled. Rahab saw God's power
and made the decision to serve Him in whatever way she could.
She took action with that faith in the
most powerful God. That action saved the lives of her and her family when
the walls of Jericho came tumbling down.
This month we examine the action of faith.
