#79: "Exhale" by Plumb

Released August 24, 2015 by More Than a Song - Michelle Nezat

 

What does your life breathe out? What is your exhale? Plumb's song, "Exhale" inspires me to breathe in as much truth, love and grace as I can hold so that truth, love and grace is what I breathe out. This week we explore the story of Rahab and discover what her life's "exhale" was.
Rahab's confession was a declaration of her faith in God. What is your confession? Use this week's free resource to guide you!
On this episode I discuss:

The opportunity we have to respond to the revelation of God and to learn from the experiences of others
Rahab's story as told in Joshua 2
Rahab's confession to the spies - Joshua 2:9-11
Rahab's choice to see God's works as a revelation of Who He is and Who He could be to her rather than something to fight against
The free resource I developed to go along with this episode to help you dig deeper
The story behind the song - New Release Today Article
What Rahab's life "exhaled" or sent forth

Salvation - for herself and her family - Joshua 2:12-14, Joshua 6:22-23
Adoption - into the community of God - Joshua 6:25
Legacy - Rahab was grafted into the lineage of Christ as Boaz's mother - Matthew 1:5

I mention Boaz in Episode 13 and Episode 72 as well


Example - of faith in action


By faith Rahab was not destroyed - Hebrews 11:31
Rahab's confession in Joshua 2 reveals God's revelation to her, but ultimately led her to action
Rahab's actions are proof of her faith - James 2:25
The Greek word dikaioó- cleared of all charges
What will our life "exhale?"
