Joshua, Day 7

Gold, silver, and a robe. Read Joshua chapter 7.

What is the price of obedience worth to you? For what would you be willing to go against God? The answer might surprise you. It might be less than you would imagine. For Achan, his price was a robe, 200 pieces of silver, and a bar of gold. That was it. That’s what his obedience was worth.

God gives us commands every day. Through our reading of The Bible and studying his word, we can understand how God desires to see us live out his obedience each day. What is our obedience worth to us? Our disobedience is always so much more costly than we can imagine. For Achan, his disobedience resulted in the loss of many Israelite lives in battle and ultimately the loss of his family and all their possessions.

God knows and sees everything. We must come to him in repentance and desire to see his will fulfilled in our life every day. What is our obedience to God worth to us today?
