Safety in Many Counselors

Lady of Light

As I take a look at Proverbs 24:1-6, I see what kind of attitude we are to have about evil people. In the Psalms, David often asks God why it appears that his enemies are triumphing while he is suffering. But God tells him that he will overcome the enemy and not to worry about evil people who appear to have victory or material wealth and success in this world. Proverbs 24:1-6 states:

"Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. Through wisdom is an house builded, and by understanding it is established. And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong, yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

So, it is the gift of wisdom, knowledge and understanding from God that really determines our state of well-being - and we are advised that there is safety in many counselors. When you are trying to discern Gpf's will, He will use his word and others to help you - good Christian leaders and friends as well. Many times I have heard someone say "God spoke to me through..." So we are fortunate that as it tells us in the book of James that if you need wisdom, pray and ask God for it and he will give it. This is a wonderful promise for us. I feel blessed when I know that God is working behind the scenes to guide me and establish me.

May God bless you today.
