"Good Advice"
Proverbs 15:31 "Listen to good advice if you want to live well."
Who doesn't want to live well? Following wise counsel is not easy. Finding it can be even more difficult. We must differentiate between feedback, input, static, opinion and good advice. Good advice should be Biblical and trustworthy. Opinions are like noses, everybody's got one. We should be slow to speak wise counsel when asked, prayerfully considering what we advise.
So, seeking counsel comes first, the listening to that counsel and then applying that counsel. Often the best advice is not exactly what we want to hear. We can seek as many advisors as it takes to hear what we want to hear too. I should probably seek counsel more often. Then listen more often and apply it more often too. Many times I have acted too hastily without seeking good advice. I recommend us to pray about seeking more and wiser counsel.
In His Service,
Pastor Fred
