Day 113

Father, 

We praise You for using every story to point to Your greater story. In Your goodness and sovereignty, You use the warrior, the wallflower, and the wicked to accomplish Your plans. We’ve probably all been in each of those categories at one point or another, and we thank You for the way You use us, despite our weakness and sinfulness. You equip us with all we need to do what You’ve called us to, and You sent Your Son to pay for all we’ve done wrong, our total lack of perfection. Thank You, Jesus, for covering our sin debt.

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. Like Achan, we have been “troublers” of Your people. We’ve taken things that don’t belong to us and lied about it. We’ve impacted others through our selfishness and greed and covetousness.

Would You give us eyes to see the bigger story You’re telling. Remind us that it’s not about us, that it’s not about becoming great warriors or having our names recorded in history—that it’s about pointing to you. The men we read about today barely got a sentence in history—if that—but every line in the book we’re reading points to You. You are the point. May Your Spirit prompt us to remember that when we are self-centered and forgetful.

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
