Thought: WWYD
stands for What Would You Do. If you
were put in Joshua’s position, think about how you would react. Because Joshua and the elders of Israel did
not take counsel from the Lord, they made an oath that they now could not go
back on. We as people of God need to
make sure that we are making good decisions by first asking counsel of the Lord
and asking for His blessing on our lives.
Questions:
1.
What covenant
did Joshua make with the Gibeonites?
2.
What cities
were considered the Gibeonites?
3.
Why did the
Gibeonites lie to Joshua in the first place?
4.
The Gibeonites
did own up to what they had done in v.24 what did they say next that we could
learn a lesson from?
5.
How did the
Gibeonites serve the Israelites?
Exercise: Water
Carriers
Objective: To
move a cup of water from place to another (ex. Kitchen sink to back door; It
needs to be at least 1 room length. Not bathroom sink to tub, unless you have
little kids).
You may have up
to 4 people. You may only use 1 finger
per person & you may not bend your finger.
(If anyone’s finger bends or water spills) you must start over. Good Luck.
Prayer: Pray that we will seek God’s wisdom in our lives. Also pray that when we do mess up we will be
willing to admit it and be able to endure the consequences.

let them live (v.15) 2. Gibeon,
