“And the men took of their victuals and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD” Joshua 9:14.
Beloved, even when it looks good, make sure it is God!
The Gibeonites came with deceit to Joshua and the Israelites in Joshua 9. Joshua and his men listened to them and checked for physical evidences to proof what the Gibeonites said. Everything looked good and so they did not check with God. As a result they were deceived into making a covenant with the Gibeonites and later found that they were their neighbors.
Sometimes ago, a group of friends came to me with what they called a profitable business idea. Everything looked good about the business but when I asked God, He told me it would not be profitable. When I told them, they did not believe me. They went ahead and lost their money.
When making decisions, particularly major life decisions like career, ministry, marriage, business, location, companion; even if it looks good, seek also the counsel of God to be sure it is God.
Your day is blessed.
