Blessed is the man who having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact. -Eliot
Proverbs 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
So often we have some problem that may arise in our lives. Maybe it is physical needs, medical needs, or even spiritual needs. We hit each one of our friends up for advice trying to find some peace and comfort. The answer is right before us all the time-- Trusting in the Lord.
When we give advice or counsel to those in need we should be like a canyon, we should echo what the Word of God says. You see there is nothing good within any of us except Him. Instead of opening our mouth with empty vain words, we should be studied up and prayed up ready to echo the Lord's message!
Are you facing some unexpected problems? Are you searching for peace in your life? Do you have a friend that is looking to you for answers in their life? No matter where we stand- giving advice or receiving it our guide should be: Proverbs 3:5-7 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: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
