I loved the story last week about the artist who painted the murale on the walls of the Facebook office and received payment in shares but was very scathing thinking that they would be worth nothing, now however they stand at $200m
I like stories where we can look back on hindsight and see something which meant very little at the time but made a huge difference in the bigger picture. On a similar theme this week I was reading about Rahab the prostitute who gave shelter to Joshua's spies as they first entered the promised land, in return for her bravery she simply asked safety for her family.
Joshua's men promised her this, and now centuries later every time we read the Christmas story we see her name in the family tree in Matthew's gospel which leads all the way to Jesus,for she had a part to play in the lineage yet little did she know what her actions would mean.
Little do we know what part we might play this week or what our actions might mean -its an exciting thought.
Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.' Joshua 2:1
