We are going to be looking at the characters and the circumstances that God used to instill courage in His people. Each week is a different story about how someone overcame impossible odds and what we can learn from it. A few are actually stories of defeat, but they can still be courageous stories if we will learn from them.
This week we have an unlikely example of courage - the woman Rahab from Jericho who hid the spies. Women of the Bible is a very interesting study; and Rahab is certainly one of the most colorful characters in that study. She starts out as someone we probably would not want to associate with. However, she ends up in the family ancestry of King David and of Jesus Himself. The story of Rahab is a foreshadowing of the story of redemption.
