joshua 10:16-28 you can run, but you can't hide


   Take me to 5-Day Devotional

In this powerful exploration of three biblical caves, we uncover profound truths about our relationship with God. The story of the five kings hiding in the cave at Makkedah from Joshua 10 serves as a stark reminder: we can run, but we can't hide from God. This narrative challenges us to examine our own lives and the false refuges we might be clinging to. Are we, like these kings, seeking safety in places or things that ultimately cannot protect us from God's judgment? The lesson is clear - our attempts to avoid accountability to God are futile and can even become our spiritual prisons. Instead, we're called to surrender to God's authority and embrace His mercy. This message urges us to stop running, stop rationalizing, and stop rebelling against God. It's a call to honest self-reflection and a renewed commitment to living in the light of God's truth.
