Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons I can learn from the life of Joshua. I pray that, by faith, I would carry out Your perfect will for my life, with courage and in the power of Your Holy Spirit. I pray that as I face the inevitable difficulties and dangers of life, I would look to You for direction and guidance. Help me to be deliberate in taking my eyes off the logical, and help me to solely trust in You, in active dependence. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, help me to take to heart the important lessons in the story of the two spies who came to Rahab’s home, whom she helped to escape from Jericho. Thank You that You are a God who uses everything to work toward the fulfilment of Your perfect plans and purposes, even when we fail to trust You as we ought. Thank You for Rahab’s example of faith in You, through her protection of the Israelite spies, but thank You also for the reminder that You never condone lying and other sins, even when the motive to do so is for the good of others. Help me maintain my faith in You, even when my circumstances appear impossible, for Your Word is true and Your promises never fail. I praise and thank You, in Jesus' holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Rahab's example of faith when she chose to trust Your Word and place that crimson thread into her window, believing that you would fulfil Your promise to her. Thank You that even when I am surrounded by bitter enemies, I know that nothing can separate me from the love of Christ Jesus. Give me the grace to withstand the advances of my enemies who would seek to shipwreck my faith. Keep me ever looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful truth in the story of Rahab that no sin is too great to receive Your forgiveness and no sinner is denied the opportunity to be saved, by grace through faith in Christ. Thank You for Your unfathomable forgiveness and amazing grace. Help me to remember there is no obstacle too great for You to topple and there is nothing too difficult for You to do. Increase my faith, I pray, so that doubts do not rise in my mind when I have to wait, as I know You will carry out Your perfect plan at Your perfect time in Your perfect way. As I face the difficulties in my life, I pray that I would trust You in all things. Fill me with the Spirit, day by day, as I persevere in Your power and submit to Your leading. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
