Deut 20:16-18 is God's command to Israel to destroy the inhabitants of Canaan.
Joshua 9:1-18 - Israel made a treaty with the Gibeonites based on false information.
Why were the Gibeonites so believable?
They were very motivated.
Key verse 9:14 - they did not ask for the counsel of the Lord.
Raise your hand if you would seek God's will in these decisions:
Career Change
Marriage partner
new car
new house
Where to go on vacation
Where to eat lunch
What color socks to wear
Some things we decide on our own using the brain God gave us. Some things we know we should seek guidance from the Lord on. Where is the dividing line? Where should it be? How do you know when to decide on your own?
