What does courage in action look like?
Rahab could've easily been killed for her actions. She had no power in such a society. Had she been found out, or even if they suspected deceit, she would've been cast aside, and many probably wouldn't have given her a second thought.
But in the midst of the crucible, she protected Joshua's spies. She was willing to stand up for what she believed was right and take a huge risk because of what she believed. There was a great potential cost for her to pay if she was wrong, and yet she did not hesitate.
Not many of us will have moments like this, but may we be in prayer for our brothers and sisters around the world who have such strength and courage to stand up for what is right, even as great personal risk, and help the church continue to grow and spread throughout the world.
