Greetings,
Quick decisions can produce BIG results that you will later regret. It will certainly pay to do some thinking before making a major decision, rather than making an impulsive choice based on emotions.
It’s also vital to seek God’s will and godly counsel before making a firm decision about an important matter. Is this the house God wants me to buy? Is this the person God wants me to marry? Don’t be in such a hurry, you’ll make a decision you’ll later regret.
The Gibeonites deceived Israel into believing they were from a distant country by wearing old tattered clothes and carrying molded bread. This is how they convinced Joshua and the leaders of Israel to make a peace treaty with them.
Joshua 9:14-15 (NKJV) – “Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they did not ask counsel of the LORD. [15] So Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live; and the rulers of the congregation swore to them.”
By failing to seek God’s advice, Israel was ashamed and embarrassed when they learned the men lived just a short distance away.
Father, I need Your guidance in all I do. Guide me in the decisions I make so that I may fully walk in Your ways.
Today, I’m worshiping with James Wilson and “Wait on the Lord.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
