Day 16: Dare to Transition

Today at church, one of the women from our Beautiful women's ministry spoke in our Hall of Fame series about Rahab.  She did a phenomenal job, and I LOVE that I go to a church that values women and puts them in positions of leadership.  Anyway, I wanted to jot down some notes from her sermon in a place where I can't lose them.  

- Rahab was stuck in a place of shame, but God offered her a unique transition.

- God opens the door, will we choose to walk through it?

What gave Rahab the courage to step out of her comfort zone and betray her people by hiding the Israelite spies?

- Rahab heard the stories about the God of Israel.

- Rahab believed the stories.

- Rahab acted on what she heard and believed.

- Rahab acted on faith because she believed, not just in the stories but in the power of the God behind   them. 

- Doing the right thing is often the scariest, most vulnerable thing because it demands we act on what we believe. 

What unique transition is God offering me in my life right now?  And do I have the courage to act on what I believe?
