Multitude of Counsellors

Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. Proverbs 11:14

There were some children playing on the slide at the playground with the parents watching. The children wanted to slide down faster, so they put water on the slide.

The parents laughed. Sure enough the children slid slower rather than faster. They had not asked their parents advice.

Asking for good advice from experienced people is always a good idea. They may know how the other side thinks and feels. They may have experience to base their opinions on. Or, like me, they may be able to imagine what will happen.

Jesus is called Counsellor (Isa 9:6). It is always a wise idea to invite God to get involved.
