don't wilt

Commenting on Joshua 9 and the failure of Israel's leaders to ask YHWH about the Gibeonites, contrasted with seeking guidance for very mundane things, Ralph Davis notes that,

"The Scriptures do not require wilting in the everlasting arms, only leaning on them. But we must beware of that subtle unbelief that assumes 'I have this under control'...We need not only the power of God to overwhelm our obvious enemies but also the wisdom of God to detect our subtle enemies.".
