Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths
straight. - Proverbs 3:5-6
Written about in the post “Seek Direction“, was how the leaders of
Israel were fooled by a plan of deception. They were caught off guard by the
misleading plan of the Gibeonites but the biggest mistake was their failure to
seek direction from God to follow the
straight path.
The lesson for us is to always
let God be a part of our decision and approval process. This includes concerns
with our family, business, organization, or job. The good news is that as the
title of the song Grace is Enough by Matt
Maher, we have grace to always fall back on when we make
mistakes. We can take in the lessons, seek God’s direction, and be guided to
better decisions in the future.
