Caught out.[ Proverbs 3 v5-6 . A.V]

In the book of Joshua, chapter 9, we read how Israel were caught out , they made a treaty with a people called the Gibeonites, the Gibeonites were afraid of Israel, so they devised a plan, which worked, and so they were spared from being annihilated, you cant blame the Gibeonites for that,but it was wrong for Israel to make the treaty.When Israel discovered they had been decieved they were angry, but they had made an oath ,so they could not go back on their word, in this they acted honourably, but[ yes there is always a but ] they acted wrongly in making a treaty with the Gibeonites, the reason why ,is very simple, God had instructed them not to make treaties with the different nations. Chap 9v14, tells us ,but they did not consult the Lord. In Proverbs 3 v6,[A.V] we are instructed to, acknowledge God in all our ways, and He will direct our path, whatever decisions you are faced with today, commit to God, He will direct your paths . [ Father help us to bring You into all the decisions in our lives, in Jesus name, Amen.]
