Sunday, June 1 By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish.—Heb. 11:31. Because of her acts of faith and courage, Rahab and her household were spared when the city of Jericho fell to the Israelites. (Jas. 2:25) Of course, Rahab abandoned her immoral life so as to please Jehovah. Some who have become Christians have had the faith, courage, and moral strength to make similar changes to please God. After Joshua’s death, the Moabitess Ruth courageously took her stand for true worship. When her widowed mother-in-law, Naomi, urged Ruth to return to her own people, the Moabitess replied: “Do not plead with me to abandon you, to turn back from accompanying you . . . Your people will be my people, and your God my God.” (Ruth 1:16) Ruth meant that. In time, Naomi’s kinsman Boaz married Ruth, who bore a son and became an ancestress of David and of Jesus. Yes, Jehovah blesses acts of faith and courage.—Ruth 2:12; 4:17-22; Matt. 1:1-6
