Do people periodically ask you for advice? Do you sometimes
lack confidence that your counsel is the best that it could be? How can you be
prepared when God guides you to give help and hope to someone in need? Never go
against the Word of God, even if it means going against the grain of public
acceptance.
Regardless of what the world says is right, you will never go wrong
when you stay true to God’s Word.
“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the
wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his
delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.”
(Psalm 1:1–2)
The more you know God’s Word, the more you will know what
God wants you to do, and the more you have God’s Word in your mind, the wiser
you will be. When talking with a person about a problem, first ask yourself,
Has God already spoken directly about this in His Word? If so, what has He
said? If not, is there a general biblical principle that needs to be
considered? The deeper your dependence on the Word of God, the wiser you will
be.
“A man of understanding delights in wisdom.”
(Proverbs 10:23)
