didn’t see her profession or her past. He saw her potential. And in spite of the challenges and choices of her life, He knew there was a part of Rahab’s heart that was open to Him. And Rahab did not disappoint. The story ends with the spies escaping and God destroying the city of Jericho and everyone in it — except for Rahab and her family. I’m so glad Rahab didn’t send the spies away, explaining that she didn’t have the best track record with men. Instead, she used her smart, quick mind to devise a plan. She used her boldness to defy the king’s men. She drew from her bravery to protect her family. She risked greatly, and it paid off. Rahab’s story tells me that although I might list all the reasons why God wouldn’t use me, God prefers I take my personality, my experiences, even the parts of me that seem less-than-pleasant and give them to Him … every part of me. It doesn’t mean He’s going to leave me as I am; God is always refining me. But in His hands, my mess has meaning.
