What’s Wrong With Those Israelites?

24. March 2009 by admin.

As I was reading this morning from Joshua 7, the thought came to me, “What is wrong with those Israelites?”  The Israelite people went to battle against Ai and had been given specific instructions to NOT take anything from the city.  But Achan, decided to take some things for himself and bury them under his tent.  As I read this it just amazed me how Achan simply disobeyed the instructions given by God and do his own thing.  I thought that Achan should have known better.  Then, the thought came to me, “How many times have I disobeyed God when I knew better?”  Reading this account of Achan is a reminder to me that God gives us life instructions that he intends for us to follow.  My prayer today is that I listen to God and follow the path that he has set before me.  As you read my thoughts today, take time to reach and get your Bible and read for yourself the account of Achan.  May we not find our self be too critical of other mistakes until we take a close look at our own lives.  We need to remember that whatever we think we have buried under our tent, like Achan did, God already knows.  Have a great day in Christ!
