This is what we will do to them: We will let them live, so that God's wrath will not fall on us for breaking the oath we swore to them. They continued, "Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers in the service of the whole assembly." So the leaders promise to them was kept.
Joshua 9:20-21 NIV
Our God is a covenant God.
He takes his promises seriously and expects us to be the same.
Here God's people were learning that lesson.
How am I at keeping my covenants?
My promises?
What am I known for?
Do I reflect God's character here?
And there's a leadership lesson...keeping our integrity, our promises, but finding a solution that works...
