The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the Lord.
The Gibeonites deceived Israel so they would not destroy them. They did a good job. Their plan worked. They made a treaty with Israel and were saved. The problem is that it sounded like a good idea to make a treaty with these people but nobody bothered to ask to God. Everyday we face challenges and decisions. Everyday we face these challenges and decisions without consulting God. Why we do that? We have direct access to the Spirit, to Christ, to the Father, yet we just rely on ourselves. Some decisions turn out okay, some don't, but if we invite God into our choices then all of our decisions will be made for his glory and his purpose.
Lord, help me to invite you into every decision I make. Amen.
