Playing Catch-Up (Tuesday's reading) (Kayla)

Joshua 1-5

Okay, this one won’t be as long =)

I love the story of Rahab and the spies. God used “one of the least of these”, a prostitute, to fulfill his plan. Obviously she was a woman of faith in Yahweh; because she said, “I know the Lord has given you this land” (Josh 2:9). She goes on to say what the Lord has done for the Israelites. Since Rahab let God use her, she and her whole family were saved. Later on she married Salmon and gave birth to Boaz. So, Rahab was the mother-in-law of Ruth. She is also one of only five women mentioned in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus.

This story portrays God’s grace so perfectly!! We as humans may have thought Rahab was a “no-body” because of who she was or used to be. But God’s grace covered that and she was in the family lineage of Jesus!! So cool!!!
