Yes

Hearing children say "yes, ma'am" and "no, ma'am" is just plain sweet! The "ma'am" and "sir" don't come naturally; it is learned. The account of Rahab's help in hiding the two Israelite spies reveals something quite remarkable: "Now before the two men lay down [to sleep], Rahab came up to them on the roof, and she said to the men, 'I know that the LORD has given you the land ...'" (Joshua 2:8-9a). The name for Israel's God that Rahab used is Jehovah - the name for the One True God. Now, why would a pagan prostitute use such a distinguishing name for God? Perhaps because He had revealed Himself to her in order to fulfill His purpose for both Israel and for Rahab. You see, despite putting herself and her family in danger, Rahab said "Yes" to God. Not only was Rahab's life spared (as was her family's) in the fall of Jericho, she was blessed beyond her years: she is named in the The Messiah's family: "Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab" (Matthew 1:5). Rahab's belief in and obedience to Jehovah not only saved herself, it helped pave the glorious way to The Cross, thus fulfilling God's Plan of Redemption for mankind. It all started with a humble "Yes."
