The victory over Ai (Joshua 7-8) could not take place until the
sin of Achan had been dealt with. There needs to be the tearing down of
sin before there can be the building up with salvation. This is a
spiritual principle of the greatest importance. God withholds His
blessing from us when we withhold our obedience from Him. It is to an
obedient people that God sends His blessing. We must,in repentance,
remove the barriers to God’s blessing. When we do this, we can, then,
reach out, by faith, and receive the blessing that He is so eager to
give to us.
