The Children of Israel under Joshua’s command paid dearly for the hidden sin of Achan, a man who disobeyed God by keeping plunder from Jericho. They were turned back in battle at Ai and lost 36 men. The Lord quickly revealed the issue to Joshua and Achan and his family died because of the sin.

We have the option to die to self and forsake our sin, or cling to it, bury it where we think no one will find it, and suffer because of it. Get rid of it!

PRAYER: Father, we lay aside every besetting sin so we can run the race of life undeterred.

READING: Josh. 6-8
