Joshua 7:1-26; Proverbs 27:20
1. What did Achan confess to?
Achan confessed, "I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath."
2. How did his sin affect others?
Joshua said, "Why have you brought this trouble on us? The LORD will bring trouble on you today." Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them. Over Achan they heaped up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day. Then the LORD turned from his fierce anger. Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor ever since.
This is meant to be a blog where I penn down the further study of my daily devotion using Selwyn's material: Everyday with Jesus.
Being Real in the Psalms
July-August 2009
Anger, fear, envy, despair, shame … How many of these emotions have you experienced? And would you admit this, to others or to God?
In this issue, Selwyn looks at the so-called ‘uncomfortable psalms’, those which express deep hurt and anguish. Recognising that these psalms have been included in God’s Word, we can conclude that we need not deny we feel certain emotions.
Instead, we are called to acknowledge every emotion and be entirely open before God. It is only as we ‘become real’ with Him that we experience more of His 'realness' – freedom, peace, transformation.
