Seeking Wise Counsel

Published on 26 January 2024 at 10:56

   Good morning, God laid on my heart this morning that we need to talk about who we seek advice from and confide in. This was confirmed for me when I received two sweet messages this morning from someone dear to me. 

   It's very important as God's children that we seek advice from those we know will give Godly advice. It's easy to seek out those who will tell you what you want to hear. However, we need to reach out to those we know are going to give us the right guidance. 

   It's also important that we are that kind of confidant and friend to those who come to us. 

Proverbs 27:9
[9]Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

   Galatians 6:2

[2]Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

   Proverbs 14:6-7

[6]A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

[7]Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

   2 Corinthians 6:14

[14]Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

   So this is where we are. Seek after counseling with those you know will help you to grow in Christ. When we search for advice from those who are of the world, we're going to be led to the world. 

   Also, be careful who you confide in. There are those who will pray for our needs and those who will throw us aside. When someone comes to you and is in need, hold them close to your heart. Pray for your friends and loved ones. Thank God for the wise and Godly people He has placed in your life. These people are more precious than anything this world can provide.
