I am currently reading a book entitled 'A woman God can use.' Hurt my ankle and my body still aches after superman style on the court so I read my book. Well, from the title you would probably think its for women only. Strangely enough I thought it was going to tell me what to do and all but not so. The author takes several characters, all women of course to discuss. I was reading about Rahab today.

Anyway, back to the topic. It was interesting to see how God can use someone of the no status in society to be on the Hall of Faith that is recorded in Hebrews. I was drawn into the part that Rahab was not part of the Israelites but she made it into the line where the Messiah comes from.

The first mention of her in the bible didn't sound as though there was any hope for her and she was doom to be destroyed like the rest of them in the city of Jericho but because at the split of second she made the right decision and decided to help the spies, she and not only herself but ALL those that were in the house when the Israelites came were spared.

To me I was reminded once again about the many 'split second' decisions I had to make in life. Often it seems to be the wrong ones. Those decisions that has to be made showed what she was built off. She was rooted in something that is not off her culture. She stood against her people. When everyone would think that what she did was a serious risk she took it for she had faith that the Israelites God was the God of the heaven and earth.

I wonder how I would respond if I am in that situation would I change from being a 'prostitute' to be one of the 2 women mention in the Hall of faith? Certainly shows how God forgives our sins and using what seems hopeless, useless and broken to glorify His name. Question is we each have that question to answer. Are we willing to take the risk and believe the Lion of Judah? Question only each person can answer on their own but is a question that will change your life and your entire world.
