Under Gods Command
Joshua 8:01 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the King of Ai, his people, his city and his land.
After Israel had been cleansed from Achan’s sin, Joshua prepared to attack Ai again-this time to win. Joshua had learned some lessons that we can follow:
1. Confess your sins when God reveals them to you.
2. When you fail, refocus on God, deal with the problem, and move on.
God want s the cycle of sin, repentance, and forgiveness to strengthen us, not weaken us. The lessons we learn from our failures should make us better able to handle the same situation the second time around, Because God is eager to give us cleansing, forgiveness, and strength, the only way to lose is to give up. We can tell what kind of people we are by what we do on the second and third attempts.
