Israel has sinned and broken my covenant! They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for me. And they have not only stolen them but have lied about it and hidden the things among their own belongings.‍
Joshua 7:11
The secret to our success is surrender. It’s definitely worth a glance at the meaning of surrender: to yield or relinquish control
If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the LORD completely; don’t ever trust yourself.  In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (TLB)
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the LORD with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMPC)

If ever a statement has hit me between the eyes, it is this one.
"God owned the devoted things in the capture of Jericho (Joshua 6:18–19, 24). To take God’s property is theft. The denial of the theft is deceit…. Either Israel must destroy the devoted things that it possesses or it will be destroyed as devoted things." - Richard Hess
Do I steal from God?
Surrender to God: His will and His ways. This will bring about the success I desire.
