The Risk of Faith

Faith isn't meant to be confined to neat lines or predictable boxes, yet many of us try to tidy up our spirituality into something safe and manageable. Often, we find ourselves preferring a God who behaves like a calendar app instead of the wild, wonderful deity who invites us to adventure and trust. The incredible story of Rahab reveals that genuine faith flourishes in unexpected places and through surprising individuals. Despite her role as a prostitute in Jericho, Rahab showed remarkable GRIT - God-rooted, Risk-infused Trust - by choosing to believe in the God of Israel and taking bold risks to protect His people. Her journey challenges us to resist waiting for perfect conditions or complete understanding before we step out in faith. Instead, she acted courageously on limited information, trusting God's plan above her personal safety. This example encourages us to reflect on where we might be playing it safe in our own spiritual journeys and inspires us to take real steps toward trusting God, even when it calls for us to leave our comfort zones. True faith isn't about gathering safe achievements; it's about embracing the messy, transformative journey of following God into unknown territories.
