In this message built around Joshua 9, Pastor Trent Rankin highlights a simple but costly mistake: making decisions without seeking God.
Israel had just seen God move in powerful ways—victories, miracles, clear direction. But when the Gibeonites show up with a convincing story, they rely on what they see instead of asking God. The result? A decision that sticks with them and creates long-term consequences.
The message presses into a hard reality: it’s easy to trust God in big moments but ignore Him in everyday decisions. Instead of seeking God first, people often turn to everything else—opinions, culture, quick answers—and only call on Him when things fall apart.
The challenge is direct and personal: stop treating God like a last resort. Seek Him daily, trust Him consistently, and make Him the first voice—not the final option.
Because the difference between wisdom and regret often comes down to one question: Did you actually ask God?
