Examples include Joshua's mistakes and David's prayers for guidance.

In the Bible, Joshua's failure to inquire of the Lord before entering a treaty with the Gibeonites resulted in trouble for Israel (Joshua 9:14). Conversely, David consistently sought God's direction in his decisions, reflecting a life committed to God's guidance. Psalm 142 highlights David's cry to the Lord for help, emphasizing that seeking counsel is a vital aspect of maintaining a relationship with God. These examples serve as instructive contrasts, showcasing the benefits of seeking after God's will versus acting independently.
