Joshua 9-11
What God said to me – You can be easily deceived by people and by circumstances, but I cannot. I see all and know all. I know what has been and what will be. That is why you must seek My counsel for everything. Nothing is too small. The Gibeonites deceived Israel because Israel did not seek My counsel. They trusted what they saw and heard and made a decision that was irrevocable because they acted on their own. Just because you have an abundance of information doesn’t mean you should step out on your own. Seek Me in everything. I will not lead you astray. I don’t hide from those who earnestly seek Me. “I AM” always here to hear from My children.
This is so good! God has a plan for me. He knows the best route for me to take for growth, for rest, and for ministry. There are a lot of opportunities along the way. Only God knows which opportunities are needful for my journey and which ones are simply distractions that could lead to slower growth, lack of peace and rest, or missed Divine appointments. God will give us wisdom if we ask for it so that we can distinguish between those opportunities that are good and those that are best.
