"When we read the story of the spy mission to Jericho and the woman who harbored the spies, we sometimes forget that the only information they brought back that had any bearing on the eventual fall of the city was the presence there of that one woman of faith. This ancestor of Jesus, commended in both the Old Testament and the New Testament for her extraordinary trust in God, speaks to us across thousands of years and teaches us how to wait in faith."
