In Joshua 8:1 God told Joshua, "Go up and take the city of Ai. I've given it to you." Even when God has already given you victory, you still have to go and take it.
Joshua chose 30,000 men to attack the city of Ai, whose total population was only 12,000. God had already guaranteed victory, so I wonder why Joshua thought he needed so many? Perhaps to give more men the opportunity to redeem themselves and develop their faith in YHWH.

Small Straws by Marsha Burns
Cast down every thought that rises up to bring you into condemnation, and then position yourself under the protection and strength of spiritual truth. These thoughts against yourself are counter productive to your spiritual growth and well being. If there is truly a need to repent do so, but do not allow yourself to get stuck in things of the past. 1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Halifax wrapped his pillow round his ears; it muffled the grumbling, but the sound was worse when thus indistinct, and also amplified, perhaps because the bed touched the wall. Glimmering grey lines snaked and seethed through the details of the light fixture when Halifax rolled again onto his back. The doleful rubbery sound of the clustered noses against the window punctuated the grumble he had tried to escape. With a grumble of his own, he got up, and waded through the floor, the stalks of shivering dry heads (ambiguously animal or vegetable), till he reached his distant nightstand. He took out the gun, fired some shots, smelled the smoke with some relief, and turned again to his bed.
An errant swog had taken up residence on his sheets. He stowed the gun and waded back. The beast bristled and thrummed in harmony with the grumble. Halifax knew the only way was to seize it in just the way - and it turned into an empty, heavy, and long-haired skin, and all its horns knocked together. This aside, Halifax curled again in his reclaimed nest, and held his scissors tightly in case of sudden hirsutism. In the end the grumble failed to keep him from his sleep.
