Point for the Day- Scarlet

Rahab made sure her rescue, her salvation, was secure (Joshua 2:21).

Though she'd sent the spies from Israel away into the mountains for three days (Joshua 2:16), and though they would then need to return to report back to Joshua (Joshua 2:23, 24), and though God's plan for attacking Jericho would take a week (Joshua 6:2-4), Rahab's immediate obedience led to her rescue, her salvation (Joshua 6:22-25).

Point for the Day- Scarlet

Joshua chapter 2 shows us a glimpse of the life-change process that Rahab (a prostitute) experienced.

God's people reached out to her. She already knew about, but did not know, God. She believed and God changed her life. A life-changing process.

What Rahab did (v. 6-8): She met and helped some men from Israel (enemies of her own people) who had come to scout out her town, Jericho.

What Rahab knew (v. 9-11A): She knew of the mighty ways God had blessed and protected His people, in allowing them to escape Egypt and in overcoming their enemies.

What Rahab believed (v. 11B-13): She became a believer and follower of the One True God; "the Lord your God, is God in heaven above and on earth below".
