Counsel

Postby Jennifer Smith » September 2nd, 2008, 12:34 am

The Bible says that a wise man seeks out and receives counsel.
How often do you seek out counsel from others? How often do you receive counsel when it is offered to you?
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.
-Phil 3:12

I seek counsel often, and with differing people, depending on what I am in need of. so nearly daily. as far as spiritual and local church things go, I seek counsel a few times a month or so.

receive counsel, happens upon request, normally. if someone offerers counsel to me "out of the blue", and is not someone that I otherwise have requested counsel from previously and isn't "over me in the Lord", then that is taken under consideration.

There is also the scripture that:

"Where no counsel is, the people fall but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Prov. 11:14

I always attempt to seek multiple counselors...especially with difficult situations.

Almost daily.

The devil's desire is that we go at things alone...that we try to figure it out ourselves....God's plan and purpose has always been about fellowship and companionship.
