“So they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.” Joshua 2:1b
As Joshua prepares for the conquest of Canaan, he secretly sends 2 spies to “view the land, especially Jericho”. And where do they go? To the house of a prostitute! Not necessarily our first choice is it? But God directed them there. And in the midst of a wicked people, He chooses a Harlot. Not just a wicked woman, but one that made her living by serving wicked men! But isn’t this the Way of God in whom He shows mercy to? As Paul says regarding the Ephesians, “having no hope and without God in the world”. God displays His Grace in a Huge Way by sparing Rahab from coming Judgement. May this cause our hearts to bow before Him today!
