[Discoveries] 01-29-08 The campaign to set a woman free -- Hebrews 11:31

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not 
killed with those who were disobedient. -- Hebrews 11:31*/

God is much more optimistic than most of us are. How many of us are 
willing -- even quick -- to write off certain people as hopeless, as 
beyond our help. But even as God planned judgment for Jericho, He was 
also determining how to rescue Rahab.

We think people are hopeless because we forget that the Christian life 
is a miracle. It is supernatural. It cannot occur without the 
intervention of God. But when God shows up, all the obstacles that 
defeat us are torn out of the way.

Many invisible chains were wrapped around Rahab's life, keeping her 
enslaved. The campaign that opened the Promised Land, was also a 
campaign to set a woman free. It's no mistake that Rahab is mentioned in 
the ancestry of Christ. Jesus ignores the religionists and goes straight 
to work on the hopeless, because He brings hope to every broken heart.

Be encouraged!
