Within the stony wall she lived by doing what she could. She cared about her family— they were her highest good. She hid the spies among the flax, the harvest, newly mown, and asked them to return in kind the kindness she had shown. She tricked the soldiers of the king who barged right through her door. She smiled and lied to them. Rahab— defiant, scared, and poor. A window in the city wall— a prisoner of hope— she helped the spies escape unseen by letting down a rope. A prostitute set free by faith a trickster plays with truth? Admire the Rahab who can speak God’s word of grace to you.
