When you read through the Bible and come across a woman named Rahab, the first thing you learn about her is not the most favorable in the eyes of God.

Some people’s natural inclination/bent is to fight, while others is to draw back; some will complain, while others will stew; many will tend to worry, while others will just laugh it off. What is your natural inclination? You’ve got…
