Inquiring of the LORD

The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD."   Joshua 9:14

It was a costly mistake made by the Israelites, believing the deceptions of the Gibeonites with their moldy provisions; and not inquiring of the the LORD. And thus, they were prevented from carrying out the command given to Moses regarding the Promised Land and the inhabitants.

In focusing on PRAYER this year, this is a reminder that there are times we fail to inquire of the LORD, and move forward with our own decisions, being persuaded by what we see, even if we may not be seeing correctly.   I pray that I will not make costly mistakes by failing to inquire of the LORD; but, will instead continually seek His Will and Guidance.
