Read | Joshua 2:12–15

Now please swear to me by the LORD that you will also show kindness to my father’s family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and save us from death.”

The men answered her, “We will give our lives for yours. If you don’t report our mission, we will show kindness and faithfulness to you when the LORD gives us the land.”

Then she let them down by a rope through the window, since she lived in a house that was built into the wall of the city.

Focus

Read and reflect on the prayer written out below. Have you ever considered yourself to be a work of art?

Pray

Lord thank you for your word,
a rich canvas of color, light, and shadow. 

Teach me to be curious.
Show me your patterned purpose 
that exists on these perplexing pages. 

Teach me to see as you see. 
Teach me to hear as you hear. 
Teach me to accept your mysteries. 

Let my mind become your new canvas
of color, light, and shadow. 

Make me a living image 
of your mercy and grace, 

Until I see you 
in all your beauty and splendor.

Amen
