Counsel of God 2 (Not in us to Direct ourselves) Jer 10:23

Jeremiah 10:23–24 teaches that: Humans are not capable of directing their lives perfectly on their own We must rely on God for wisdom and guidance When God corrects us, we should desire His loving discipline, not His wrath This same truth is demonstrated in Joshua 9, when: Joshua and the Israelites were deceived by the Gibeonites They made a peace treaty without seeking God’s guidance The result brought long-term consequences they couldn’t undo Joshua and the leaders trusted their eyesight instead of God’s insight. They said “yes” to something God would have warned them about — if they had asked.
