I am struck by God's grace. The story is intriguing, with some unexpected twists, but the biggest plot twist is that the harlot becomes the heroine, some random immoral woman would save the day--and be saved that day.
Rahab takes a real leap when she changes loyalties. What was she risking? Why does she do it? How is she similar to someone coming to believe in Jesus as their savior today?
You're not a spy, you're not CIA, your not involved in counterintelligence, so what's in this story for you? What difference does it make?

Hebrews 11:31 By faith Rahab the Harlot did not perish with those who did not beleive...
She put everything on the line because of her faith. Clearly God desires to demonstrate his extraordinary power through ordinary and unlikely people like Rahab, and me, and you.
Could this be the same Rahab in the Genealogy of Christ (along with some other shady characters - Matt 1)? God's redemption through faith put it into action can no less change the world.
I feel like Rehab,s story gives us hope in God's love and forgiveness. For me, I do not feel very worthy at times of such an amazing gift, and this story reminds me God can forgive even my sin.
