Godly Counsel

Jasmine Hill

For GIVEYOURWITNESS Ministries on 14 September, 2020 in the year of our Lord:

Everyday people are always looking for self-fulfillment. Life seems to be filled with the pressure of academic requirements in our youth, society acceptance when we are young adults, parent approval in life and career choices and people recognition in our careers. The grade always seems to be higher than where we are. This keeps us in the endless pursuit of seeking and searching.

Let everyone search today for advice and counsel. The wisest thing you can do for yourself is to look around at the wisdom you may have ignored, because society told you that it was in a far-off place, and tradition forced you to look at someone older for advice.

Pray that God will allow you to be open to the counsel of the godly who are already in place. He equips the team before He selects them to play. Make a decision today to stop hearing the world and to start listening to the Word.

Each day is a new day to seek and search, learn and grow. However, we need to pause every so often and ask ourselves what memories we are creating today so that tomorrow, we can look at yesterday and be grateful for the lessons hidden in those memories. Time is indeed a picture and the advice of others becomes the paint that can draw a clearer picture of what can be.
