BIBLE VERSE: ”Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.” —Proverbs 15:22
BIBLE THOUGHT: God is telling us, that any thing we wish to accomplish or whatever goals we set out to attain, that if we don’t ask for counsel at the beginning and along the way, we stand a chance of being disappointed with the outcome. But where do we get counsel from? Friends, family, or co-workers? The answer is NO! Then where are these “multitude of counsellors?” Here is the answer. Psalm 119:24 ”Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.” In other words, God’s Word is our counsellors! All 31, 101 verses!. God also tells us in Psalm 73:24 ” I will guide thee with my counsel.” In Isa.9:6 His name is “COUNSELLOR” We are told that our “faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” —1 Corinthians 2:5. If the person you are receiving counsel from, is not guiding you to the Word of God….it is their opinion their giving and is dangerous to receive.
DAILY THOUGHT: ”Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes..” —Proverbs 3:5-7
