What’s The Trouble?
July 17, 2012

There was something wrong with my lawn. I couldn’t see what the trouble was, but I knew something was causing damage.

After investigating, I discovered the problem: moles. Those voracious little bug-eaters were crawling around just under the surface of my previously well-groomed lawn looking for food and wreaking havoc on my grass.

The children of Israel also had a problem with a hidden cause (Josh. 7). They were experiencing trouble, and they couldn’t figure out why. There was something hidden from their view that was causing serious damage.

The trouble became noticeable when Joshua sent 3,000 troops to attack Ai. Although that should have been a sufficient army to defeat Ai’s small force, the opposite happened. Ai routed the Israelites, killing 36 of them and chasing them back where they came from. Joshua had no idea why this trouble had come. Then God explained the hidden problem: One of his men, Achan, had violated a clear command and had stolen some “accursed things” from Jericho (Josh. 7:11). Only when that hidden sin was discovered and taken care of could Israel have victory.

Hidden sin does great damage. We need to bring it to the surface and deal with it—or face certain defeat.

Dear Lord, I don’t want anything in my life to
hinder my fellowship with You. You know what’s
in my heart. Reveal any areas of my life that are
not pleasing to You and forgive me. Amen.

Confession to God ensures forgiveness.

Read: Joshua 7:1-13

Be sure your sin will find you out. —Numbers 32:23

Bible in a Year:
Proverbs 19-21

Such a beautiful thank you, dear yorkie.
A very late you're welcome. I've had company.

[MEG33]

Great lesson, Rus.
.I’ve had company..Yes Sunday was frustrating..I also had to buy a new computeer as old one wasn’t worth repairs. I wasn’t reading my refreshes right and thus multiple posts.
Old dog is having to learn new tricks.

Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.

Thanks, I found the tagline on a protest sign. A Freeper posted pictures of a Freep of Obummer along The Won’s drive to a speech venue recently.

Happy Gratituesday to All!

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what
we have into enough, and more. It turns denial
into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can
turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of
our past
brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
-Melody Beattie

Linda-The-Dog and I are adjusting to our new quarters quite nicely.

I wish I could share the rain with the dryer parts of the country...all it does is RAIN! No Motorcycle riding for me.

Oh well...it makes the grass green.
