Theme: Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover
Today’s Scripture: Joshua 2:1
Scripture: Then
Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look
over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered
the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.
Thought: In
the text, one learns Rahab’s occupation before learning her name. Introduced as a prostitute, imagine the
presuppositions or assumptions made about her based on what she did and not who
she was.
Prayer: Oh
God, helps us to patiently get to know people as to who and whose they are, as
opposed to what they do. Help us look
past the book covers and read the chapters.
Positive Practice: Look in the
mirror, hug yourself, smile, and say, “Above all things, “I AM A CHILD OF GOD.”
Lenten Emphasis – Nutrition and Healthy Eating: Drink
six to eight glasses of water a day or more if you are heavy into exercise and
fitness.
Mission Emphasis Girl Scouts: Please show care and support of
our Girl Scouts by offering a word of encouragement, making a financial
contribution, or buying Girl Scout cookies.
