NOT SEEKING THE LORD'S COUNSEL

3/22/2019

0 Comments

 
In the Old Testament we see Joshua and Israel fall into deception at the hands of the Gibeonites for one very important reason – they did not seek the counsel of the Lord. Folks, listen, the number one way that God wants to protect us from deception is through our seeking His counsel before we make decisions. And the main way we discover the counsel of the Lord today is the Bible. Scripture gives us the counsel of God. If you are not committed to knowing the Bible and making the Bible a priority in your life, you will fall into deception. The Psalmist taught us that the Word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. It shows us what steps we are to take. With the Gibeonites, Joshua decided to just go by his own human wisdom, his own human reasoning. He felt it was a safe bet. He didn’t seek the counsel of God. Instead, he enters into a treaty and led Israel into deception. We do it all the time. How many times do we make plans for tomorrow, plans for next week, plans for next month, plans for next year but we never seek the counsel of God as we make those plans? It’s Scripture that will protect us from deception.
