From what I read, I can see that Rahab wasn't the "holiest" person in the world. She was a harlot (or what we now call a prostitute), which tells me that God can use anyone for the glory of His name. Rahab was used to hide spies that Joshua sent into Jericho. In return for her courageous act of lying to the guards and hiding the spies, also for her act of faith, her as well as her family and all they had were spared.
So much was in jeopardy but Rahab acted on faith and now we are where we are today. For a very long time I thought God couldn't use me because I did so many things we consider to be "bad" in my life. But the story of Rahab proved to me that God can use anyone no matter how messed up they are.
I encourage you all to think about where you are now and where God brought you from. When you feel as though you aren't good enough for God, remember that he can use anyone and anything to do what He wants. Luke 19:37-40 talks about when the disciples were rejoicing and praising God with loud voices. Some of the Pharisees told Jesus to rebuke them and He responded "I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out."(KJV) That's just one example of God using objects to do what He wants. I don't know about you but, I would rather have Him use me than to use some rocks lol.
Be Blessed!!!
Love you all!!!
