Deliverance and faith 

Because of faith, the spies were delivered safely by the hand of a prostitute. Because of their oath, they delivered her and her family to safety when God’s word came to pass. We may not always approve of the political climate around us but trusting God and acting on it brings us safely “home”. – Teresa #faithisunseen

Joshua 6:22-25 (ESV)

22 But to the two men who had spied out the land, Joshua said, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her, as you swore to her.” 23 So the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her. And they brought all her relatives and put them outside the camp of Israel. 24 And they burned the city with fire, and everything in it. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 But Rahab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive. And she has lived in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
