Winning the War Against Deception - Seeking God Wholeheartedly

This Week's Lesson: "Winning the War Against Deception - Seeking God Wholeheartedly" - (Joshua 9)

We face many choices and decisions. While there are things we can accomplish through our own understanding and intelligence, we take serious risks by not seeking our God's guidance. There is a very real possibility that we might be led astray by Satan's lies and deception. Even the most spiritually attuned and mature of God's people are not immune to being caught in the enemy's trap. God is always faithful to us when we trust in His guidance. When we seek His help, he makes the way clear before us. This week we examine an important incident in Israel's history in which Joshua and the people were misled by a group of people who sought to avoid being defeated by Israel's army. In this lesson we see the danger of deception, and are reminded of why we need to seek God in all aspects of our choices.
