Today’s Reading: Proverbs 15:16-23
Today’s Verse: Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. Proverbs 15:22 KJV
The question is: “Who is so wise as to have perfect knowledge in all things?”
Mankind does not.
None of us have perfect knowledge of all things.
The enemy is always trying to make us think we know it all.
We have been told, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.”
He tries to keep us thinking in the wrong way.
But the Lord came that we “might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 KJV).
He always will lead and guide us in the right way.
That is why we must not trust in our own opinions.
We need to be ready to hear the opinions of others. The ones that are sent by the Father to help us.
We begin to learn how to let go of trusting our own opinions so we can have even greater results in life.
When trying to determine God’s course for our lives, we want to be wise in our ways.
The Father knows we need someone to physically be there to help guide us along the way.

Through them God will bring His guiding wisdom to us.
When we seek wise counsel from others of faith, it shows we realize that we might be overlooking some key factors in our decision making.
That we know we always have room to learn more.
That wisdom leads to a successful life.
This has always been God’s plan for our lives.
The more successful we are in life, our desire to serve Him keeps growing.
Solomon was a wise man in Israel. He wrote about how important it is to have counsel from others.
He said, “Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established” (Proverbs 15:22 KJV).
Which means, if we will not take time and pains to think carefully about this, we are not likely to bring anything to pass.
The Lord is our Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6 KJV). He desires to protect us through wise advisors.
We need to seek them out. Talking to someone you know is walking in faith. If they feel you need better assistance, they can help connect you with someone who can.
Life is good when we let others help us to discover a clearer picture of His plan for our lives.
Giving thanks to God for them.
We will always make sound decisions the more we put our trust in His wise counsel.
