TOPIC: AVOID THIS COSTLY MISTAKE

TEXT: “The men of Israel look them over and accepted the evidence but they didn’t ask God about it’ (Joshua 9:14)

One of the names of Jesus is wonderful Counselor. Meaning that Jesus wants to lead you. And if we adhere to his counsel, we can begin to experience his wonderful working power in our lives.

It’s hard to remain humble when you have just seen the red sea open for you to pass through, and seen the wall if Jericho come tumbling down. The tendency is that we become over confident, and overconfidence can be deadly! Flushed with victory the Israelites thought they didn’t need to consult God or listen to what God has to say about their next move. It’s quite a story: The crafty Gibeonites realized they couldn’t win against God’s people so they sent out a team of negotiators to make peace with them. And it worked! Even though they were lying, Joshua presumed they were telling the truth and signed the peace treaty. It was one of the biggest mistakes of his life. From that day the Gibeonites were a constant thorn in Israel’s side. Joshua lived to regret that he didn’t ask God about it. Fanny Cresby the blind song writer, wrote ‘O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer’

It’s frightening how we move from relying on God to relying on our intellect, or trusting a method because it worked in the past or we just do what everybody is doing. Hearing from God yourself is what gives you the edge. Leaving Him out gets you into trouble. If you have the tendency to move too quickly or to operate in your own strength and skill, pray for a red light in your spirit. Ask God to let you know when you are moving in your own will and strength rather than His. It will save untold heart ache and frustration. So avoid this mistake by all means by seeking His opinion as you go into this day   

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY

Learn to listen to His voice daily by staying quiet in His presence after your prayers preferably in the morning hours of the day.
