they resorted to deception to save themselves. They sent ambassadors to Joshua, loading their donkeys with weathered saddlebags and old, patched wineskins. So the Israelites examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord. Then Joshua made a peace treaty with them and guaranteed their safety, and the leaders of the community ratified their agreement with a binding oath. But the Israelites did not attack the towns, for the Israelite leaders had made a vow to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. The people of Israel grumbled against their leaders because of the treaty. But the leaders replied, “Since we have sworn an oath in the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel, we cannot touch them. (Joshua 9:4, 14, 15, 18, 19 NLT)
Lord help me to be wise on this journey. Bring to mind this passage instantaneously if ever I start to make a decision without consulting you. Help me to think the best of others at the same time being prudent and discerning and most importantly tuned to Your Spirit!! And help me to always remember I'm sowing a harvest. Not just for me but for my children's children's children's children. Bless me in this request I've circled Lord! I look forward to and thank you in advance for the perfect answer that's gonna knock my socks off!!!
I love You too!
