Joshua: Prayerful Decisions

Joshua 9-11

Ever try to handle situations on your own, in your own wisdom, without seeking the Lord? I'm sure we all have. Joshua learns this through his covenant with the people of Gibeon (Joshua 9). We need to trust in the Lord at all times, in all situations. Joshua and Israel then go on to claim the rest of the territory in the promised land as the Lord goes before them and fights for them! (Joshua 10 & 11). Yet what we see through it all, prayer and seeking God's wisdom will produce amazing results. However, the land of blessing is also a land of intense warfare. We need to be ready to fight those battles.
