Joshua
7:1-26
And Achan answered Joshua,
"Truly I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is
what I did: when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from
Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50
shekel
s, then I coveted them and took
them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with
the silver underneath."
There are some sins and patterns of
thought that go undetected and are socially acceptable in our
world. Jealousy, envy, and covetousness pretty much run the
internet. From what we buy, to who we love, there is no doubt that
envy plays a part. In the story of Achan there is a discontent that
leads to a horrible situation for all of Israel - the greed of one
person affected the entire nation. Join us as we take a serious
look at a God who has given us all we need and to grow in
contentment.
