READING:
Joshua 2: 1-21
KEY VERSE:
Then, since Rahab’s house was built into the town wall, she let down by a rope through the window.
REFLECTION:
In the story about Rahab a rope is significant as the means of salvation and deliverance. A rope is used to allow the Israelite spies to escape. Similarly, a rope hanging from Rahab’s upper window also signifies salvation for Rahab and her family when Jericho is destroyed. The rope is a symbol of God’s saving works, to save lives, deliver the needy and bring salvation to a lost world.
PRAYER:
Gracious God, please give us the courage to help those that are in need, especially when it is not easy. Help us to escape the sin in our lives as we prepare for Jesus’ birth. Amen.
