"THE GODLY OFFER GOOD COUNSEL; they teach right from wrong. They have God's law as their own, so they will never slip from the path!"
It is a known fact that if you want to succeed in any venture, you need to seek advice from many counselors. Kings always did this before going to war. Wealthy men made this a part of their planning process. Throughout our lives we need to seek counsel about important decisions and plans before we make a life changing decision. Making long term goals requires a process that will include the advice and counsel of those who have proven their ability to succeed. Where do we as believer's go for Good Counsel? Horoscopes are not based on real facts and are unreliable. Asking those who have failed in life may be informative but not something we want to reproduce. They may point out the wrong direction, but they do not supply the right path! The One Truth Today offers the answer to the question, where should we get advice? THE GODLY OFFER GOOD COUNSEL!
Seeking God first in everything we do in life is the best way to get Good Counsel! The second and most important way to get Good Counsel is to seek the advice of the Godly believers who have made God's laws and His Word their own. They know right from wrong and walk in the path of righteousness. They will never slip from the path that leads to God and righteousness. The Godly have studied the Word of God and they have proven the value of what the bible has taught them. The ungodly do not know right from wrong and they do whatever their mind and heart tell them. Why would we ever want to receive advice from one who does not even have the beginning of wisdom, the fear of God. If you follow the blind, you will fall into the ditch just like them. THE GODLY OFFER GOOD COUNSEL, that is where you want to go and listen!
We all need to be careful when we are being taught by someone. An example may be a University professor that does not know or respect God. What kind of advice and counsel can you expect to receive from an Agnostic of Atheist? They are fools and anything they profess is going to be wrong for they have no wisdom. They may have learned a subject by rote and may be able to parrot the information but that is not wisdom and is often bad counsel and poor advice. They themselves are lost so how are they going to lead you in the right path? We need to look to someone who has succeeded in life and is rich in the Word of God. They know right from wrong and they can teach us. They can keep us on the right path leading to God. So now we know where to seek advice and counsel. First from God. Second we know that THE GODLY OFFER GOOD COUNSEL! Make the right choices and the consequences will be right!
