Scripture makes it clear that there is wisdom in seeking advice from a variety of counselors.

“Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many counselors bring success.” – Proverb 15:22 (NLT)

Scripture also makes it clear that some advice is to be avoided.

“In the mouth of a fool, a proverb becomes as limp as a paralyzed leg.” – Proverb 26:7 (NLT)

“A proverb in a fool’s mouth is as dangerous as a thornbush brandished by a drunkard.” – Proverb 26:9 (NLT)

“What a shame, what folly, to give advice before listening to the facts!” – Proverb 18:13 (NLT)

Who are you listening to? 

Choose your counselors wisely.
