When Israel asked the Lord for instructions, He blessed them and gave their enemies into their hands. However, the Gibeonites deceived them because they had not inquired of the Lord. The Israelite leaders, including Joshua, believed a deceptive lie told to them by the inhabitants of Gibeon.

Life presents us with many choices and challenges. We are wise to prayerfully ask the Lord for His guidance on issues on consequence. He is anxious to hear our prayer and lead us in paths of righteousness. Just pray.

DAILY PRAYER:  Father in Heaven, forgive us for thinking we can make it without You. We will trust You for every decision we make today. You are good.

DAILY READING: Josh. 8-10
