Joshua 6:24-25 The the Israelites burned the town and everything in it. Only the things made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron were kept for the treasury of the Lord's house. So Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her relatives who were with her in the house, because she had hidden the spies Joshua sent to Jericho. And she lives among the Israelites to this day.
My Thoughts
I love this story!... God didn't choose the king, or governor... or highest guard... God chose to use Rahab the prostitute...the lowest of the low to help the Israelites. Not only was her life spared.... but the lives of her family member were spared! And she went to live among the Israelites, to be a part of God's chosen people!
No matter what we have done... no matter how low we have gone in life... God can use us... we can be a child of God... we can live with Him forever. It is our choice... all we have to do is follow Jesus and we become God's... and he can use us to do amazing things... God used Rahab to save a nation of people by hiding the spies and keeping them safe... God can use each and ever one of us... no matter what our life has been like. Joyce Meyer puts it this way "God likes to use cracked pots." When God uses cracked pots his glory shines through!!
