What are we giving God to work with?

In recent times I have been wrapping my mind on the story in the book of Joshua in particular the wall of Jericho. In my own analysis, in Joshua 2, two spies were sent to the city to spy it out; I am guessing that this was done so that they could come up with some formation and strategy to attack the city, while they were there Rahab did the most honorable thing, which was in favour to God and them, she hid them. In Joshua 6, the big day to take down the city Jericho, I was anticipating while reading the story some top a top formation, skills and strategy instead God told them in simplicity to the human mind to march around the city. It worked! My thing is why then was it important for the spies to into the city at all.
There is no coincident where God is concern, and I can bet they (the spies) went into the city only to bring out RAHAB out just as Noami went all the way to Moab for bring RUTH out. But, they both i.e. Rahab and Ruth needed to give God something to work with, just as the boy with the fish and bread, Mary and Martha rolled the stone away, Mary the mother of Jesus ask the servant to do as Jesus ask fill the pan with water. Hear this part “Enter the house of the harlot and rescue the woman and everyone connected with her”. Go into the house and rescue the woman from what? My guess again, rescue her from prostitution. Rahab gave a change of heart, which was all God needed to finished his purpose in her life, Philippians states it better… He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Ruth gave a made up MIND!
