Hebrews 11: A 5-Day Devotional

Dia 4 de 5

The OT portraits of Moses and Rahab differ widely, yet their stories converge to show us that the faith that delights God is both costly and courageous. Honored by God above all other prophets, Moses had privileged access to God’s glorious presence. Yet the self-portrait Moses offers in the Pentateuch exposes the fear mingled with his faith. 

Rahab, a pagan prostitute, exercised fearless faith and received the Lord’s rescue. Her confidence that God would give his people the Promised Land set her apart from “those who were disobedient,” not only in idolatrous Jericho but also in Israel (cf. Heb. 3:18; 4:6; Josh. 7:1). We too must look beyond the fleeting pleasures of sin and the threats of rejection and persecution, setting our sights on the living God, too glorious to be seen by human eyes, and the reward he will bestow (Heb. 11:24–27).
