WISE COUNSEL

No man is wise enough by himself. -Plautus

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.

I don’t care where you went to college. I don’t care who your daddy is. I don’t care where you grew up. Sooner or later, you are going to find yourself in a jam, needing some wise counsel. Whether that is a problem with your car, weed whacker, washing machine, or working the remote on your TV; some wise counsel in our time of need is much appreciated!

The wisest counsel we can get today is our need of the Saviour! It’s a maze out there to find the Truth but if you grab a Bible, the Holy Spirit will guide you in Truth to the knowledge of how to be saved!

Hey friend, you’re not all that and you don’t have all the answers. Sooner or later, you will stand before God and I hope you have received and believed the wise counsel from God’s Word before it’s too late!

JESUS IS THE BEST COUNSELOR

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!

I NEED HELP...JUST NOT YOUR HELP!

            Many receive advice, only the wise profit by it. –Syrus

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. Proverbs 12:15

            These commercials on television about where to find a good contractor are interesting. They proclaim their company is the company to go to in order to find the best plumber, HVAC, painter, etc. Funny thing is these companies have paid a heavy fee in order to get a good referral from said company. Seems a little bias to me that a company you have paid to give you a good recommendation would give you a good recommendation!

            You want a good referral? Find someone who has used the contractor you have in question. Let them tell you about their craftsmanship, their pricing, and their accountability. Someone like that has not been bought to give their opinion.

            You want to know something about Jesus? Find someone who walks with Him, talks with Him, and serves Him. They are the ones who can tell you the most about Jesus. Those are the ones who can help you get your life where it needs to be! Yes, you do need their help! The prayers they offer for you are of more help to you than you can imagine! Those prayers may be what is standing in between you and hell. Receive the help from the wise!
