Joshua 7:13 Hidden among you, O Israel, are things set apart for the LORD. You will never defeat your enemies until you remove these things from among you.
Observation
Joshua is recording what the Lord has said about Achan keeping the gold and silver that was the Lords. He calls it the accursed thing. You will never defeat the enemy if you keep what is the Lords.
Application
Tithing. It's as clear as any point in scripture. I feel as I am living this out with our money, but is there anything else in my life that is hidden, that I am refusing to remove, thus the enemy has a place of victory in our home? Paul writes in Corinthians today that a little yeast leavens the whole loaf.
Prayer
Father, all I have, and all I am, is Yours. I truly invite the conviction of Your Holy Spirit in my life. Just like Achan's sin, please expose my sin that I might confess, repent, and life in victory. Amen.
