James 2:25 “ In the same way, was it not Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?”
Lord, I love how you take the most unlikely folks and have them do such extraordinary things:
· A harlot in the line of King David and YOU!
· A shepherd boy slays a giant and becomes the greatest king in Israel’s history.
· You took a Hebrew baby, had him grow up as a “son” of Pharaoh and then had him lead Your people out from under that same Pharaoh’s rule.
· You made a very timid and cowardly young Hebrew man and gave him victory over a mighty enemy using 300 men, pitchers, torches, and trumpets!
· You took 12 very unlikely candidates (fishermen, tax collector, etc.) and made them into Apostles that turned the world upside down.
In each case it was their faith with their deeds that showed their faith. Lord, my faith is so strong in You and I want my deeds to show too. You took a girl with only a partial education and a sordid background, saved am and placed me in the largest Christian school in the world to be an advocate, guide, and lover of your young ones who You will send out into the world to turn it upside down. THAT is amazing to me even now! I am so unworthy of Your grace and mercy, but so very thankful for it!
