Joshua 2:1-7
According to biblical references, harlots in Scripture were considered women who were known to commit fornication and adultry, to be unfaithful, and some were even forced into the life of prostitution against their own will. While it’s known, many women willingly sell their bodies for filthy gain, some have defiled themselves because of the pressure from others.
Our text mentions Rahab, also recorded as Rachab (of the genealogy of Christ). This woman was known in her community as a harlot. Although very little details are mentioned concerning her family and lifestyle, it is noted that she owned a house. Most prostitutes seen today hang out on street corners, and some have literally no place to live. It’s unfortunate how many potentially great women have resulted to such a degrading profession, but as long as they have breath in their bodies, they can still change their way of living, and do good for God. Rather than judge those whom you have little to no knowledge concerning their situation, pray for them, and hope that God will give them a mind to change their ways, and start living for Him.
Rahab may not have been the town nun, but what she did in our text, was noted in the Bible as a great faith act. While hiding the spies sent by Joshua, and seemingly lying about it may seem minuscule at first glance, her protecting of God’s men was essential in saving her own life, and the lives of her household. Just because you’ve done bad things in your life, doesn’t exclude you from doing great works for the Lord. Although Rahab was a harlot, her act of faith, and good works literally gave her, and her family, another chance to be redeemed.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold… don’t become one of them.

Amen!!! “Rahab was a harlot, her act of faith, and good works literally gave her, and her family, another chance to be redeemed.” Rehab feared God, because she knew their God is God in heaven…, and once they’ve heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea and what happen to the two kings. Who or what can compete with God’s mighty power. We all need more trust and faith in believing in God’s mighty word and power; beyond our flaws, social status, or weakness. God can and still will use us, if we have a willing heart and obedient spirit. So Brother Ell, thank you this awesome lesson, it reminds me that no matter where or what we are in life, “all things can work together for good to them that love Him, who have been called according to His purpose,” like Rehab. To God be ALL the Glory!!! 💖🙏🏽✝️🙏🏽💖
