Most times in life, we miss great treasures as we go about our daily lives… One of such is found in the book of Joshua 2:1b. Having read this passage so many times, I missed so great a treasure contained in this verse but discovered it recently:
"…And they went and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab. And they stayed there."
In our present world with all its intricacies, it is good to know that God will always lead us to the place(s), person(s) and opportunities He has prepared for us.
Praise the Lord.
"…And they went and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab. And they stayed there."
Seeing it again and by the help of the Holy Spirit, I began to ask the right questions for the first time. "WHY DID THEY ENTER THE HOUSE OF RAHAB?" I want to believe that her house is not the only house on that wall, and she probably not the only harlot there, how did they end up in the house of the someone who 'believes'?
The story of the spies (humanly speaking) could have been different (though I know God could have made a way of escape for them) if they had entered the house of someone who could have given them away…but the truth is that they found themselves WHERE GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THEM…
Looking at this from my perspective, I once again see how unlimited and amazing the love of God works in my daily life. A friend would always say that 'the same way God order our steps, He also order our stops…'. HE LEAVES NOTHING ABOUT US TO CHANCE, NO HE DOES NOT. He says can a mother forget her sulking child? Even if they can, He will not forget us.

Further, He says if the sparrows are well taken care of, how much more we who more precious than sparrows (Paraphrase) Matt 10:29-31.
