"Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end" (Proverbs. 19:20).
Some time ago I read the following statement and found it to be rather humorous:
Teenagers: tired of stupid parents?
Act now! Move out -
get a job -
pay your own bills.
Do it while you still know everything!
The truth is that teenagers are not the only ones that act like they know it all. Adult Christians also suffer from the same malady. And this is a serious problem because God uses the wise counsel of others to help bring us to where He wants us to be. Paul wrote, "Be not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is" (Eph. 5:17). Success in the Christians life is not about how talented, smart or gifted you are. Success in the eyes of God is about understanding what God's will is and walking in it. Wise and successful Christians know that they don't know it all and seek wise counsel.
