“However, the leaders replied to the whole community, We have sworn to them by Adonai, the God of Israel; so we can’t touch them.”
Joshua 9:19 CJB

Like the children of Israel, we need to be careful of making promises without knowing all the facts!

“Just let your ‘Yes’ be a simple ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ a simple ‘No’;
anything more than this has its origin in evil.”
Matthew 5:37 CJB

Again we must be careful in what we promise and what we say!

“If you choose not to make a vow at all, that will not be a sin for you; but if a vow passes your lips, you must take care to perform it according to what you voluntarily vowed to Adonai your God, what you promised in words spoken aloud.”
Deuteronomy 23:23-24 CJB

In other words, we must keep our promises, making good on what we say we’ll do! So be careful on what we say and promise!
Have a blessed day praying about what we say!

“Adonai said to Y’hoshua, Don’t be afraid or fall into despair! Take all the people who can fight with you, set out, and go up to Ai; because now I have handed over to you the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land.”
Joshua 8:1 CJB

As we saw in the end of chapter seven, Joshua and the children of Israel made things right with Adonai by correcting all their errors, by repenting! Then God kept His promises and gave them victory! How do we achieve victory? by keeping His Word and walking in His ways!

“I treasure Your Word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against you.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

We need to seek and find direction in the Word of God, which gives us perfect direction!

“I will find my delight in your regulations. I will not forget Your Word.”
Psalm 119:16 CJB

What an amazing blessing it is to be able to search the Word of God and do what it says! When we do, we will always see and experience His blessings!
Have a blessed day seeking Adonai!

“Over him they piled a great mound of stones, which is there to this day. Finally Adonai turned away from His fierce anger. And this is why that place is called the Valley of Akhor [trouble] to this day.”
Joshua 7:26 CJB

Even when we blow it and disaster hits, what should we do? Repent, move on and watch what Adonai will do!

“He has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west.”
Psalm 103:12 CJB

Simple when we repent, He forgives, forgets and desires us to simply move on in Him! So don’t return or uncover your past sins, simply just move on in Adonai!

“For He understands how we are made, He remembers that we are dust.”
Psalm 103:14 CJB

God knows how we are made, because He made us! So know that He understands we will blow it from time to time and He uses it to help us to grow in Him!
Stand strong in Adonai today!

“Adonai said Y’hoshua (Joshua), I have handed Yericho (Jericho) over to you, including its king and his warriors.”
Joshua 6:2 CJB

Like Joshua, all our victories come from Adonai and all our battles belong to Him!

“Adonai-Tzva’ot (LORD of Host) is with us, our fortress, the God of Ya`akov (Jacob).”
Psalm 46:7 CJB

In every situation we need to know that God is in complete control! So we need to not panic or fear! What do we do?

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth.”
Psalm 46:10 CJB

So with all life’s battles, all we need to do is desist and watch God take over, because He really is in control of everything!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!
