Good Morning
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God;
He is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.

Saturday's Devotional
"ONE IN CHRIST"
"You are all sons of God through faith in
Christ Jesus."
Ephesians 3:26
Ephesians 3:26
However, if you think
about it, all societies have a certain systems and standards where some people
are prominent and/or rich and others are way down the social ladder with either
jobs or living standards. Others are famous stars while most of us just
lead ordinary unassuming lives.
God doesn't see by men's
standards what-so-ever. All that matters in God's eyes is if a person
believes in Jesus for their salvation. The Bible goes on to mention there
are neither men or women, slaves or free, rich or poor, famous or ordinary --
all people are alike and joint heirs as His children because of Jesus.
So don't get lost in
the world's comparisons. Nothing counts but your faith in Jesus.
Think of yourself as a child of the King!

There are many amazing women in the Bible who made a difference. Rahab was one of these women.
Rahab the Prostitute
Profile of Rahab, Spy for the Israelites
Rahab was one of those unexpected characters in the Bible. Even though she made her living as a prostitute, she was selected for high honor in the Faith Hall of Fame in Hebrews 11.
She heard about the God of Israel and recognized him as the true God, the One worth risking your life for. And she did risk her life for him.
The Jews finally entered the Promised Land of Canaan after wandering 40 years in the desert. Moses had died and they were now led by Joshua, a mighty warrior. Joshua secretly sent two spies to scout out the fortified city of Jericho.
Rahab ran an inn built on the Jericho city wall where she hid the spies on her roof top. When the king of Jericho learned the men had been to Rahab's house, he sent orders for her to turn them over. She lied to the king's soldiers concerning the whereabouts of the spies, and sent them off in the opposite direction.
Then Rahab went up to the spies and pleaded for her life and for the lives of her family members.
She made an oath with them. Rahab would keep silent about their mission and the Israelites would spare everyone in her household when they invaded the city. She was to hang a scarlet cord from her window as a sign, so the Jews could find and protect her.
