“No, Father. It isn’t enough to be alive but not serve the God who rescued us.”
Unashamed was an extraordinary story. I knew Rahab was a woman of faith, and it was good to see the way God prepared her heart for all the things He was willing to do in her life.
The author's perspective is always intertwined with fiction, but I liked the way she explored Rahab's emotions and fears. It mustn't have been so easy to fit in at first, considering the life she lived. Judgment was always present, yet she was strong in building a life straight with God, even with this reality.
This narrative, plus the seek and find section, made me ponder about trust. Rahab was in Jericho, expecting, putting her faith in God, and her future would be shaped by the Hebrews' victory. I think she couldn't wait to get away from the life she lived; she must've felt used her whole life, viewing it as a chance for redemption.
When she faced two spies, she could've done a lot of things, told the king, or someone else. She was afraid, but she did the right thing, and now we all can read her name in Matthew 1:5. The once harlot, foreigner, is now a woman of faith in the "lineage of grace."
