Wise Counsel (Proverbs 11:14)

It is so important to have wise counsel in our lives. If we go about thinking that we know it all and do not need the help then we will be doomed to destruction.

"Where no wise guidance is, the people will fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Proverbs 11:14, Amplified

This wise counsel that we surround ourselves with can come in many different shapes and forms. The first thing that comes to mind is of course the Lord. Our pastor tells us almost every service, "Read your Bible and pray everyday." There are so many wise words within the text of the Bible; something for everyone and everything. Even the president of our United States surrounds himself with wise counsel of different sorts. I tell you it is near impossible to make a wrong decision in the midst of many counselors.
We are promised, though, that if we do not seek out wise counsel that we will fall. So I encourage the reader to seek out wise counsel. Do not just read my words but seek out other people's as well.
