Many receive advice, only the wise profit by it. -Syrus
Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
There are many times in life that we should seek counsel from others; when going to college, when buying a car, when buying a house, when dating, etc. Oh, we could name more but I believe you get the point. Decision making can be hard sometimes. Isn’t it great to have some good Godly friends in your life that will give you counsel according to the Word of God? Yes, sir it is! But what about those times when it seems as if those people are not giving you the counsel you need? What do you do? Do what you should’ve done to start off with, consult with your Heavenly Father! Go to Him in prayer asking Him to give you discernment. Ask Him to direct you through His Word. Don’t be shy in asking! Scripture encourages us to seek His face asking for His help! I am reminded of James 1:5, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Will you seek His guidance today? Jesus is the best counselor you know!
