“And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.”
Joshua 8:24 KJV
Joshua’s men killed all the inhabitants of Ai in the fields and in the wilderness where they had chased them. They all fell by the sword. Then the Israelites turned to attack Ai and killed those who were still there. God did a miracle for Israel with Jericho’s walls crumbling, but with the battle of Ai, it was God’s brilliant strategy carried out by Joshua’s men that won the victory. Every battle in our lives requires that we seek God’s face and obey His instructions so that we will taste the joys of victory. Obedience to God’s plan is the key. Though God assured Israel of victory, they still had to discharge their responsibility. Seeking God’s will at all times is our success and the Holy Spirit has been given to us for that. Glory to God!
