Bonus- Joshua 2 & 6 (Rahab)
Memorize/Reflect - “I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.” (Hosea 2:19)
Personal Reflection- God uses broken and sinful people who are willing to follow Him; how has God worked through your life in spite of your weaknesses, past choices, and sins? How do the stories of these women give hope to those who think, “God could never work through me”?
Discussion- How does Hosea extend grace and love to an undeserving wife and why does his story bring hope to each of us? God can bring good out of the worst of situations…how do you see this happening in the stories of these women? What would you say to a person who thinks, “God could never use someone like me”?
Prayer Direction- Thank God for His amazing grace that cleanses your sin. Offer your life to Jesus and commit to serve and follow Him, even when you are aware of your sin and unworthiness. Pray for the conviction of the Holy Spirit to show you where there is sin in your life and ask for power to resist and repent.
“Live It!” Challenge - Identify a pattern, habit, or behavior in your life that you know God wants you to change. For the next week, surrender this to God and seek to walk in total obedience in this area…then, make it a lifestyle.
Monthly Prayer Focus: This June we will focus our prayers on the women in our lives. Take time to pray for young women you know who are growing up in a world that fails to celebrate the true value of women. Pray for them to see their value and worth in the eyes of God.
Resources for the “W…Great Women of the Bible” series:: If you want to dig deeper into the topic of women in the Bible, consider looking into the Real Women, Real Faith series and curriculum.
