“Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! 17The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. 

So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.

Pardon your servant, Lord. What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 

Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. 12That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; 

There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read to the whole assembly of Israel, including the women and children, and the foreigners who lived among them.

Lord God my Father,

You are all powerful and all knowing. Help me to follow you without hesitation or question. Your plan is perfect and I am unable to understand so much of your design. Help me to trust and obey with my whole heart. Protect me from deceit so I may only know you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
