ALWAYS SEEK GOD’ S DIRECTION!​

Joshua 9:14-15 – Devotional

Joshua 9:14-15

“Joshua and the men of Israel did not ask counsel of the Lord. Joshua and the rulers of the congregation made a covenant with the deceitful Gibeonites to let them live; and so swore an oath to them without seeking counsel from the LORD.”

Heartbreak and defeat are always the result of not seeking God’s counsel before taking a particular action. Over the years of my ministry I have counseled many people concerning their relationship with God and with individuals. Frequently, people have wanted their own way rather than taking the time to discover God’s way.

When Joshua and the leaders of Israel sought the face of God and then obeyed, there was victory. Every time they failed to seek God’s will, there was always failure and disaster.

The crafty Gibeonites knew that Israel was an unstoppable force. So the Gibeonites devised a plan whereby it appeared they were a group from far away rather than residents near at hand. Joshua and Israel relied upon what they saw rather than calling on the Lord. They were deceived!

In our own lives we can also be deceived by appearances. Rather than taking the time to seek God’s will for us, we think we know enough to make our own decisions. That is never the case! We always need God’s direction.

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
