The Faithful Prostitute

This week, we reflected on the story of Rahab and how it relates to those of us trapped by the consequences of our choices and circumstances. Rahab, a prostitute living in a violent culture, found hope when she realized her victory wasn’t in Jericho defeating Israel, but in escaping Jericho itself. Through unwavering strength and courage, she saw the vision that the God who freed Israel could deliver her too. By making a covenant with God, Rahab courageously left her life of brokenness, and through her lineage, became part of the line that led to King David and ultimately, Jesus Christ. Rahab’s story reminds us that to escape our own struggles, we must trust that God is greater than our circumstances and remain faithful to Him, for He is always present to help and save.
