Are you making plans for something big in your life? Maybe a house purchase, a job change, a new
relationship, or a dream adventure? These
plans are huge and could affect you in big ways, and fear looms because of the
possibility of failure?
Proverbs 15 says that plans fail for lack of counsel – but with
many advisers they succeed. Advisers are
good to have in your pocket…but with wisdom seated nearby.
When we have plans that involve life changes, it’s wise to
seek counsel, and it’s wiser still to seek counsel from wise people. In other
words, get advice from someone you respect and who has the foundation and years
of experience in walking with Him. Don’t
go to a friend just because you know they’ll agree with whatever you say.
Plans are fun, and hopefully they end up with dreams
fulfilled. But talking over plans and
hearing sound wisdom – and then proceeding with caution and obedience – is always
best.
And doing anything that doesn’t agree with the Word? Don’t
even think about it. :)
