RISKS AND REWARDS

By faith thr harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.
                                                                             Hebrews 11:31

Rahab took a great risk when she hid two Hebrew spies from the king of Jericho and his army. Yet her risk was not impulsive or foolish. She heard the stories if Israel's victories and the works if their God. She believed by faith that God would indeed destroy the city if Jericho. She knew in the her heart that her risk would result in a great reward.
      We know from Scripture that God honored Rahab's  risk. She and her household were the only ones spared drom destruction in Jericho. She began a new life, marrying a Jewish man, and eventually became a part if the genealogy if the Lord Jesus Christ.
     A one time in your life, you took a risk like Rahab. You made a covenant based on faith to save you from the destructionif sin. You made a decision, that some wiuldczll risky, to follow Jesus. Was the risk worth it? Yes! Unlike others risks in life, God always delivers on His promises. Thank God for the gift if your salvation!
