So the men took some of their provisions, but did not ask counsel from YHVH. And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.
Joshua 9:14-15
The Gibeonites tricked Joshua into a covenant that violated God's instructions on how to deal with Canaanites. Israel painted themselves into a corner that could have been avoided if they had stopped to ask God's counsel. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by asking counsel of God even concerning mundane decisions. Pray, search the Scriptures, and ask for advice from wise men who fear God.
