Reflection
Points:
Read Joshua 2. In verse 9, Rahab tells the spies that everyone in the country is afraid of their God. If Rahab was afraid, why would she help God?
Although Rahab was a living a life far from God, what good and useful characteristics did she have?
Many times we withhold an area of our lives from God's Lordship. It may be work, our time, or our money. If you submitted that area of your life to God, what changes might happen?
Rahab's actions saved the lives of her family. What can you do today to impact the lives of your own family?
