I have fallen way behind in my workbook in my James study (Beth Moore) and yet as ABBA would have it He’s right on time where I picked up today.
The statement that prompted me here is one Beth made on page 108 of the aforementioned workbook: “and then she did something new. She believed God and acted upon it.”
And the light came on! And so to all of us the word is
Do something new — believe GOD.
And one might say I believed GOD a long time ago! And that for sure is true. But what about this?
In that old situation, in that protracted issue that is beyond wearisome – do something new! Believe GOD! And act upon that belief!
Our subject She is Rabah. We can correctly surmise, I believe, that Rahab had long been in her situation. That she had long been taking care of business. But on the day those two Jewish ‘Boys’ came by her house, she did something very new! And the new she did changed her life and her legacy.
To read and refresh your recollection of Rahab please click HERE for a link to read Joshua 2, Joshua 6 and Matthew 1.
Doing something new – Believing GOD – delivered Rahab from prostitution and placed her in the lineage of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Perhaps we do not need to be rescued, delivered from prostitution; perhaps we don’t even need to be rescued and delivered from some disabling addiction; but I’m thinking there is not a one of us that does not need to do something new about something old.
What would doing something new – Believing GOD – do for you and me? We won’t know til we do!!
If this generates questions in your mind, perhaps we can inquire of ABBA together – send me a comment or an email and lets talk.
Blessings of Joy and Peace,

Great post! i like your take on Rahab and the story’s application for today. God has gifted you for writing devotions. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you, Sheryl, for your encouraging words and for taking the time to stop by and read. I appreciate visiting with you. And many blessings to you and your family as well.
The name of your blog is interesting. I heard a teaching on the seven churches in Revelation a while ago. Jesus not only mentioned specifics about each church, but often specifics about the town in which the churches were located. Unfortunately, I can’t remember what the preacher said about the white stone except that white stones were one of the things that Pergamum was noted for. Guess I need to google it Thanks for liking my post.
Revelation 2:17. There is a special story with that verse for me and in part the blog is named for that reason but more importantly I rest in THE WHITE STONE of salvation given me by the LORD JESUS CHRIST; but not me alone to all those who have exchanged their sins for His Righteousness.
