May 28th Mid Week Moment

May 28, 2025    Santosh Ninan

As we delve into Joshua 7 this Sunday, we're confronted with a stark contrast that challenges our understanding of faith and obedience. We see the Israelites riding high on God's favor, with Joshua's fame spreading throughout the land. Yet, in the very next breath, we witness the devastating consequences of one man's disobedience. This powerful juxtaposition serves as a sobering reminder that even in our moments of greatest triumph, we must remain vigilant against the subtle temptations of sin. The story of Achan's transgression invites us to examine our own hearts and actions, questioning where we might be holding onto things that God has asked us to surrender. It's a call to recognize that our individual choices can have far-reaching effects on our community and our relationship with God. As we explore this passage, we're challenged to consider: How might our hidden sins be affecting our walk with God and our impact on others?
