"Where there is no wise guidance, the people fail; but, IN THE MULTITUDE OF COUNSELORS THERE IS SAFETY!"
Before you make a life changing decision do you seek the advice and counsel of others? The One Truth Today points out that IN THE MULTITUDE OF COUNSELORS THERE IS SAFETY. We need to make it a habit to get wise guidance before we make a commitment that will change our lives. If you make snap decisions, or jump before you look, the consequences can be predictable. Seeking God's Word and the wise counsel of other believer's should be the first step in any decision that you make about your future! Acting without thinking a problem or plan through is a sure recipe for failure and taking a fall. No single person has all the information you may need for your decision. Success has many fathers, defeat is an orphan!
While each of us is here on earth we will have to make some very important and life changing decisions. What will your profession be? Who will you choose for a spouse? How many children should we have? What political party should I support? How should I handle my finances? Of course the most important decision or choice you will ever make in your life is whether or not to accept Jesus Christ the Lord God into your heart! If you open the door to your heart and invite the Lord in to dwell with you, then the Holy Spirit will help lead and guide you throughout your life. If you keep the Lord and His Word first in your life and every thing that you do, you will have wise counsel. Then seek many Godly counselors to insure there is safety in your decisions.
A nation is no different than a person when it comes to seeking wise counsel. Without wise guidance the people will fail. As a nation we need to increase the odds of our success by seeking the counsel of many wise and divergent opinions before making nation changing decisions. Leadership that insulates itself and does not go outside of their small cadre is asking for failure. Of course to be successful a country has to have God first and foremost in everything that they do. The Lord needs to be at the center of our leadership and our country in order to we wise. The beginning of wisdom is the Fear of God! We must individually and collectively put first things first. IN THE MULTITUDE OF COUNSELORS THERE IS SAFETY!
