I love the story of Rahab! She was a prostitute, a woman not many people would have wanted to associate with. And yet, not only is she praised because of her faith, but she is also in the line of Jesus, the Messiah (Matthew 1:5). When these two spies arrived to Jericho, they surely didn't expect to receive help from someone like Rahab - a woman, a pagan, a prostitute. But today ́s Scriptures show us that faith is for everyone. The good news of grace and redemption are for everybody, even for those that, to our eyes, have “big” sins. We tend to forget that “where sin abounded, grace did much more abounded” (Romans 5:20). And Rahab ́s story reminds us of that truth. 

Rahab tells the spies that she had heard about their God. She had put her faith in the true God and it was her faith that saved her. We can be certain of her faith because she put her life at risk by hiding the spies. My question to you today is, are others hearing about God from you? Is your life being a testimony of the grace and the redemption Jesus offers to every person? 

Dear God, help me live the Gospel. Help me be living proof of Your love, Your grace, and Your mercy. In Jesus name. Amen.
