Counsel II (Proverbs 20:18)

Counsel is always a good thing. Advice comes from an outside party, one that should be unaffected by your emotions.

"Purposes and plans are established by counsel, and only with good advice make or carry out on war." Proverbs 20:18, Amplified

To say that we are going out to complete a certain task or even fulfill a life long dream, counsel still must be sought. We have our own brains and emotions that seem to always muddle with things. But counsel comes from someone who is outside the equation. Counsel can come from many different places. But the most important place that counsel can come from is from the Lord. He speaks to us in many different ways and on many different levels. To be sure it is His voice we are hearing, we must first speak and understand His language. How do we do this? By reading the Word everyday. As you hear Him speak to you on a daily basis, then you will learn how to distinguish His voice from the chaos that surrounds us. We may not be able to see Him, but we can still hear Him.
