Joshua 9: 14 So the leaders partook of their provisions, and did not ask direction from the Lord.
The Gibeonites were very smart. They had heard about the Chosen People and their victories at Jericho and Ai. They disguised themselves as travelers, and they appealed to the leaders to make a peace treaty. When the Israelites found out about the deception, they couldn't attack the Gibeonites. They had already sworn an oath to God to have peace. So they made the Gibeonites their slaves, and the Gibeonites were just glad to be saved.
I found this verse which reminded me of my faith at times. I think that I have things under control. I don't look to God for advice. Then I discover that my control is not sufficient.
Prayer: I need You, how I need You. Every hour I need You. This song sums up my faith. You have the best plan for me at all times. Guide me to You, and make me uncomfortable when I forget to pray for guidance.
Amen
