Read James 2:25, Joshua 2:4-11

Rahab’s story reminds us that faith isn’t reserved for the spiritually elite. She was an outsider—a Canaanite woman with a broken past—but she believed in the power and promise of Israel’s God. Her courage to act on that belief changed her life forever. She risked her safety to protect God’s people, and her faith became part of the lineage of Jesus Himself.

Rahab’s example shows that faith is not about perfection; it’s about trust that leads to action. God delights in using ordinary, imperfect people who are willing to believe Him enough to take a step of courage. Her story invites you to ask: What bold step of faith is God calling me to take?

Jesus honors that kind of faith. Throughout His ministry, He often said, “Your faith has made you well.” He wasn’t commending flawless lives but courageous trust. When you believe Him enough to move, even in small ways, you align your story with His redemptive work in the world.

Faith that acts with courage doesn’t ignore fear—it steps forward despite it. You may not know the outcome, but you know the One who holds it. Like Rahab, you can trust that your obedience today might be the seed of someone else’s salvation tomorrow.
