Get up! Why are you lying on your face like this? - Joshua 7:10
This tragic event illustrates the terrible ripple effect of sin
God gave crystal clear instructions ofr the invasion of Jericho
He promised the Israelites a crushing victory over the city and in return they would put aside for Him all the gold, sliver, and other valuable they would seize during the raid
Achan paid no attention to God's instructions
His sin had removed God's hand of blessing from the Israelite army and three dozen innocent soldiers died in the reulting unheaval
Even sin that might be reguarded as secret affects you and those closest to you
Where do you most feel the tug to stray?
