Joshua 7:16-26
Covetousness was Achan's undoing; we must never allow it to control us. Covetousness can happen unconsciously, for example, when we are struggling financially and envy the material well-being we see others enjoying. Paul controlled covetousness by learning contentment no matter what his circumstances (Phil 4:11) . If we remember that:
- everything - including power, status, wealth, health - will be left behind when we leave this life; and
- God is waiting to reward us for our service to Him;
then covetousness will be less of a problem.
Joshua 9:1-2
Once we have dealt with sin in our lives, God gives us victory where we previously tasted defeat. Thank God for those victories.
Psalm 82:1-8
God wants us to be just in all our dealings with men. Let us not disappoint Him!
Proverbs 13:2-3
We must be circumspect in our speech, for we cannot be held responsible for things we have not said!
