“Where there is no guidance, a nationa falls,
but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” — Proverbs 11
“Without counsel, plans go wrong,
but with many advisers they succeed.” — Proverbs 15
Sometimes I think of the Hebrew story of Solomon’s son Rehoboam, who became King of the united Israel upon his father’s death. And then he had to make a decision. He consulted with his father’s advisors who were schooled in wisdom. And then he consulted with his buddies, other younger men.
He chose poorly. Instead of being king of a united country, he was reduced to king only of one tribe and one small territory.
We can look at world events. We can look into our own hearts.
Are we seeking and heeding wise counsel?
What will be the story told about each of us in future years?
