“Godly Counsel”
We have to beware of making life
decisions without the counsel of God. It
is necessary to ALWAYS learn what God has to say about a subject. The Bible gives us sound counsel and enables
us to make wise decisions.
In Joshua 9, the rulers of Israel
made a covenant with the enemies of God without inquiring of God first. Because of the covenant that was made with
the enemy, Israel was prohibited from carrying out God’s instructions to
completely destroy the enemies that lived in the land that God promised to give
to Israel. Before we form an alliance
with the enemy, we need to consult God concerning EVERY decision.
Psalms 1:1
Blessed is the person
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
