Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. Proverbs 11:14 ESV
Men long to make decisions free of the opinions of others. Yet, all who do inevitably make fatal mistakes. This prideful longing is the greatest desire of masculinity, and its greatest undoing. How quickly would I make bad decisions, if not for godly counselors.
Counselors are not beneath men of greatness, they are the basis of men of greatness. The greater the man, the greater the need for counselors. Who most needs counselors: paupers or kings? Men of great power and influence are most in need of voices of reason. Great Presidents have great cabinets. Great kings have great advisors. So do great preachers.
Its hard to find wise counsel.
ReplyDeleteI have a great deal of excellent sources of council. Not least of which is my great father, and a host of other great men.
