Good Morning My Beloved Ones,
I pray wisdom for you in every decision you make and that you do not go haphazardly through your day, but with purpose.
Today I want to talk to you about “Unholy Alliances”.
In Joshua, chapter 9, the Children of Israel were
commanded to destroy the current inhabitants of their new Promised Land and take the cities. God was executing judgment upon people who’d been given much opportunity to repent their wickedness but refused to. When the Gibeonites heard that their neighbors were being slaughtered and that was to be their fate as well, they conceived a plan to deceive Joshua and the leadership of Israel. They represented themselves as being people from far beyond the borders of Canaan and asked to be aligned with the Children of Israel. Joshua did not consult God about the decision and made a pact with the Gibeonites that they would protect them. It was an unholy alliance.
