Today's verse is Joshua 7:9
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
Israel had lost! Why? because one man defied the commandment of God and had taken that which was cursed by God. Now we know that a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, But God hast magnified his Word above all his Name. Because one man had transgressed the Commandment of God (His Word) all of Israel was in danger of destruction, though Israel (as a whole) knew not of the transgression. Yet, today, we cannot even agree as to what is the Word of God, and we (Those that name the name of Christ) as in Jeremiah’s day openly embrace those things that God in his Word condemns. How can we expect to escape the Holy and Righteous Judge, if we pervert and transgress his Word? That same incorruptible Word of God by which we are Saved! Let us, therefore, cast aside any false Prophet, and seek out God’s True Word, and by his Spirit seek to live Soberly, Righteously, and Godly, even in this present world, to the Honor, and Glory of the God that hath made us. Amen.
To God be the Glory
Scott
