Proverbs 15:22 (NKJV) 22 Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Sometimes we just need the help and counsel of others.
None of us has everything we need to get through life. We all need others at one time or another during our lives.
Sometimes we need someone to listen to us. Sometimes we need someone to pick us up when we’re down. Other times we need someone to set us straight when our attitude stinks.
And then there are times when we just can’t seem to figure something out and we need the advice or counsel of someone godly who has already walked through what we’re struggling with. It’s just normal.
God didn’t create us to know everything. We have weaknesses, shortcomings and inabilities. There’s not a single one of us who can do everything all the time. We just need to learn to lean on God and pay attention when He brings others into our lives that can help us.
If we’re struggling with getting past something that we’ve wrestled with for months, or even for years, then we need to humble ourselves and get the counsel and advice of someone who can help us.
Sometimes it might be a person who has walked through the very same thing. Other times it might be someone who has a specific understanding or knowledge of something that you want to understand better.
If you’re terrible with finances, you need the help of someone who is good with finances.
If you’re terrible with relationships, you need the help of someone who is good with relationships. And so on.
Let’s face it. If you were going to build a house yourself and had no idea how to do it, you wouldn’t ask for help from someone who has never built a house! You’d ask an experienced carpenter. If you wanted to fix your car yourself, you’d find someone who understands mechanical things to give you advice.
So if we’re stuck in a rut and can’t seem to get past certain things or obstacles in our life, we need the counsel and help of someone godly who can help us!
We can’t be too proud or stubborn to ask for help.
Seek God and heed His direction, and accept the help that comes your way.
