Today we are introduced to Rahab from Joshua 2. We have a woman who was not a Jew, but who feared the God of the Israelites. She was aware that they were coming and instead of attacking them or turning in the spies, she chose to help them hide. In return she and any of her family who stay in her house would be spared when Jericho was taken. She is also mentioned in Hebrews 11 as a hero of Faith. She again reminds us to not allow our past determine our future. It isn't about what I can do, but what God can do through me inspite of my past choices.
