A brief meditation on Joshua Chapter 7
The Israelites after winning the battle of Jericho under Gods guidance lost in the battle
of Ai which was beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel basically due to three reasons:
1. Instead of Gods’ guidance Achan son of Carmi of Judah’s tribe relied on his own wisdom for over-coming the men of Ai.
2. Instead of being fully armed they thought they could win the battle with only 3000 soldiers thinking the people of Ai are very few.
3. They deceived sinned against God as Achan took the accursed things of Ai.
Eventually, due to their mistake 36 men of Israel were slain and they lost the battle in Ai.
May, we in our daily life learn from this Scriptures to rely on God’s wisdom than our own to lead us in our day to day life to overcome every situation as we are at home.
God bless you all.
