Prostitute Saved Her Family
By Mark Flippo
Joshua Chapter 2:
1-And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
6-But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
9-And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
10-For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
11-And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
12-Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:
13-And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
She heard of what their God had done and knew in her heart that He is the true God! The fear of the Lord and obedience saved her whole family. Would you know who the true God is? Would you know who to protect and who to give up? Will you do the right thing when it comes your time?
