Day 83 | Joshua 7:1; 1 Chronicles 2:7; Joshua 7:2–9:27
After Israel’s miraculous victory at Jericho, their overconfidence leads to a crushing defeat at Ai due to Achan’s hidden sin (Joshua 7). This passage shows how disobedience affects the whole community, not just the individual. Once the sin is dealt with, Israel regains victory and Joshua reaffirms God’s law and promises (Joshua 8). But in their next challenge, they fail to seek God’s guidance, leading to a deceptive peace treaty with the Gibeonites (Joshua 9). Today’s reading reminds us that sin has consequences, obedience leads to blessing, and seeking God’s wisdom is always essential.
