An Unlikely Hero Named Rahab: Joshua 2
God chooses unlikely people to do extraordinary things. In Joshua 2 we see the story of a woman named Rahab to help Israel.
God could have chosen someone with a perfect pedigree to help.
But on that day, inside the walls of the city, in the face of extreme danger,
God chose a prostitute - a most unlikely hero.
Your past doesn't keep God from choosing to use you.
Rahab took a bold step towards her true identity when she made the choice to leave her past behind.
Rahab was a woman of faith. Hebrews 11:31 makes a special note of her
faith, It says:
…the faith of Rahab, the woman who hid Israelites spying on the city of Jericho shortly before the conquest of Canaan.
Rahabs faith was stronger than her fear.
And later, Rahab's faith was rewarded when she and her family were spared the destruction that came to the city .
Joshua 6:23 tells us: “So the young spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, and brothers—everyone connected with her. They got the whole family out and gave them a place outside the camp of Israel.”
Rahab's story tells us sometimes God chooses people with rough resumes and messy pasts, yet they possess the grit to get a hard job done.
Remember, your past doesn't keep God from choosing to use you.
God uses those of us with a past.God redefines those of us with a past.
Rahab's story tells us that even though we can think of a million reasons why God wouldn't use us, God wants us to take everything about us, even the parts of ourselves that seem less-than-pleasant and give them to Him.
It doesn't mean He's going to leave us as we are; God is always refining me. But in His hands, our messes have meaning.
Galatians 2:20 tells us, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Trust that God has a plan, and that He wants you, in all your uniqueness,
to fulfill your God-assignments, in His strength, because,
your past will not stop God from choosing to use you.
