Summary
The first thing Joshua does after Israel is defeated by Ai is to humble himself before God and mourn. Still, it is not long before God tells him it was enough. God does not delight in the grief of his saints merely for grief's sake. Rather, godly grief is granted by God as a means towards a glorious and good end.

| 0:00.0 | We're picking back up with our series through the book of Joshua. Our text for today is Joshua |
| 0:04.1 | chapter 7 verses 10 through 26. It's a larger text and so for the reading portion, I would like to |
| 0:14.7 | focus our attention on verses 10 through 15. So that's the portion of the text that I'm going to |
| 0:19.9 | read today. Would you go ahead |
| 0:21.1 | at this point and join me in standing for the reading of God's word? I'll read the text in its |
| 0:25.7 | entirety when I finish reading the text. I'm going to say, this is the word of the Lord, |
| 0:29.6 | at which point I would appreciate very much if you would respond by saying thanks be to God. |
| 0:35.2 | Again, the entirety of our text today is Joshua chapter 7 versus 10 through 26. I'll be reading |
| 0:41.4 | Joshua chapter 7 versus 10 through 15. The Bible says this. The Lord said to Joshua, get up. |
| 0:49.3 | Why have you fallen on your face? Israel has sinned. They have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them. |
| 0:57.2 | They have taken some of the devoted things. They have stolen and lied and put them among their |
| 1:03.6 | own belongings. Therefore, the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their |
| 1:10.0 | backs before their enemies because they have become |
| 1:13.3 | devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more unless you destroy the devoted things from |
| 1:20.1 | among you. Get up. Consecrate the people and say, consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for thus says the Lord, God of Israel. There are devoted |
| 1:31.0 | things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted |
| 1:38.1 | things from among you. In the morning, therefore, you shall be brought near by your tribes, and the tribe that the |
| 1:45.7 | Lord takes by lot shall come near by clans, and the clan that the Lord takes shall come near |
| 1:52.1 | by households, and the household that the Lord takes shall come near man by man. |
| 1:58.6 | And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire he and all that he has |
| 2:05.7 | because he has transgressed the covenant of the lord and because he has done an outrageous thing |
