Joshua 10:1-15

"So Joshua and his entire army, including his best warriors, left Gilgal and set out for Gibeon. 'Do not be afraid of them,' the Lord said to Joshua, 'for I have given you victory over them. Not a single one of them will be able to stand up to you.'" v.7-8

Joshua's response shows integrity. After having been received by Gibeonites, Joshua and the leaders could have been slow about their attempt to rescue them. Instead, they immediately responded to their call for help. How willing would you be to help someone who had already deceived you, even though you had forgiven him of her? We should take our word just as seriously as Joshua did.
