The situation had changed, and Joshua and the Israelites had no idea. The memory was fresh of their absolute defeat of Jericho. The imposing walls of Jericho had proven to be no problem whatsoever! The men had just returned from spying out the city of Ai. It was nowhere near as imposing as Jericho! Defeating Ai would be a piece of cake – it would not require any effort.

i have acted in that same manner. i’ve encountered Jericho-sized situations where i knew if God “didn’t come through” i was sunk. i’ve turned to Him and seen Him work the miraculous. Then on the heels of that great victory, i encountered something so seemingly minor – so seemingly insignificant – i didn’t think there was even any need to pray about it. Then – SMACK! There was that unexpected defeat that knocked the wind out of my sails.
