The Israelites had just lost a battle at Ai, and Joshua was before the Lord seeking answers. Joshua was unaware that one of his men had been disobedient and took some of the spoil that they were instructed not to take. The battle at Ai should have been an easy battle, but instead they lost, and thirty-six men were killed. God was letting Joshua know that there was sin in the camp and that until it had been dealt with, they would continue to lose. In our own lives, when things aren’t going well, we must examine ourselves and make sure that there is not an “accursed thing” in our lives. We must make sure that we are in obedience and that we are not living a life of sin. Sin is what opens the door for the devil to come in and wreak havoc in our lives. Once we clean things up in the spirit world, we can be assured that things will get better. When things are a little rough, it may not be sin, it could just be an attack of the devil, and that is when we just exercise our authority and resist the devil. Victory is all that God has in mind when it comes to our lives. When things are not going the way they should, we should seek His Face knowing that He will instruct us and guide us in the way that we should go.
