You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city."
So, the Israelites destroy Jericho but are not to take any plunder. One person does and he and his whole family are destroyed. Now in the attack on Ai they are allowed to take plunder. Wow! If we just wait on God often he will give us what we want, but it's on his time and his terms, not ours.
Lord, help me to not be anxious or greedy, but to wait on you. Amen.
