True, the exact age of the human race is unknown; but it is certainly old enough to know better! - Anon
Achan knew in his heart it was wrong to take the sacred things, but he did it anyway. It cost his people and it cost his life. OUCH!
When you get right down to it: right is right, and wrong is wrong; and we know it. We may not like it, but we know it. Some of the crutches we often use to defend our sinfulness is the phrase “I’m not that strong spiritually”, or “I haven’t reached that level of maturity yet.” The reality of the situation is that it is not how strong you are or what ‘level’ you’re on, it’s what you know and WHOM you trust. The common sins we continue to fall prey to, we know better. And God knows we know better because He has given us His instructions. We can offer up excuse after excuse for our actions but God doesn’t take excuses, only results.
Until tomorrow…….
