Maybe God would reveal Himself to us and through us if we would just cleanse ourselves and our homes of that which dishonors Him.
In Joshua 7, the people of Israel attacked Ai and were told by God to destroy it completely and take nothing, Achan however, took possession of a coat and a little silver and gold, no big deal right, he didn't worship it or anything, it had no sacred significance to him, he just saw it and wanted it for himself, what could it possibly hurt anyway. However, God had said DON'T TAKE ANYTHING! The whole nation of Israel suffered because of Achan's disobedience. To make things right with God again, Achan, his wife, his entire family and all of their belongings were destroyed and burned with fire. That's a radical way to clean out and remove that which dishonors God.
Could it be that the suffering of our nation today is directly related to our disobedience to the Almighty God!
Ever thought that your small acts of disobedience may cause others around you to suffer and possibly even die?
Neither did Achan.
