Psalm 27:1

What gives you the courage to do what’s right when fear is loud?

Rahab, a woman with a questionable past, made a courageous choice. Though she lived in a city marked for destruction, she believed in the God of Israel. She hid the spies, risked her life, and asked only for the safety of her family. Her faith wasn’t loud—it was active. She tied a scarlet cord to her window, trusting that God would keep His promise.

Faith isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about trusting God when the outcome is still unseen. Like Rahab, we all carry labels or fears that threaten to define us. But God sees our heart. When we step forward in faith—even trembling—He meets us with grace, protection, and purpose. What small act of courage can you take today that says, “I trust You, Lord”?
