SPIRITUAL DIARY
FOR 06-16-03
My
Worship Time Focus: Rahab demonstrated
true faith
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 11:31
Message
of the verse: “31 By faith Rahab the
harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies
with peace.” (ASV) “31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because
she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.” (NIV)
The story
of Rahab is a marvelous testimony of the grace of God in giving salvation to
her and in spurring her on to good words, that always come with true faith in
God. Rahab demonstrated true Bible faith
by believing the Word of God in spite of circumstances or consequences in her
life, for she risked her life in order to save the spies from Israel and then
as a reward of her faith she is even mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ
in the book of Matthew. Her faith took
courage, but by the grace of God she was up for the task.
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: As I think
of Rahab I think of her faith, her courage, and also her obedience to the Word
of God. These are all qualities that I
pray that I would have in my walk with the Lord today.
The Word of God has encouraged my heart through the story
of Rahab that I read about this morning.
My
Steps of Faith Today: I
would pray as stated in the “spiritual meaning for my life today” section that
I would demonstrate the faith that Rahab demonstrated by having faith, having
courage to do what is right, and being obedient to the Word of God by the power
of the Holy Spirit who lives within me.
