RAHAB TO REHAB


Text:  Joshua 2:1
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho.  And they went, and came into a harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
Rehabilitation – an action or process of rehabilitating or to be rehabilitated.
Rehabilitate – to restore to a former capacity; to restore to a condition of health or useful and constructive activity.
Rehabilitant – disabled person undergoing rehab.
In the natural, we do many things without a second thought, such as getting out of bed and getting dressed without assistance, walking your dog in a park, dashing down a basketball court, mowing the lawn.  We just do these things.  Usually, we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the great gift we have to move, bend, lift, throw, or push without limitation.  But an injury or illness can take away those abilities, and suddenly everyday activities become an extraordinary task.
During those times, the “rehabilitant” will need rehabilitation.  Keep one thing in mind - who you choose to provide your physical rehab can impact the rest of your life.
