Proverbs 1:5 NKJV A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

Wise counsel is greatly undervalued because of pride. People take pride in accomplishing something by themselves with little to no help. But if things don’t turn out like they hoped, they have to dig themselves out of a hole and overcome the temptation of being embarrassed. A lot of unwise choices could’ve been avoided by attaining wise counsel. 

The first wise counsel should be from God. The Holy Spirit is our counselor and He will show you things to come (John 16:13; John 14:26). He’s not the only counsel we should seek, but He’s the first. He may give us the guidance we need to be successful or instruct us to attain additional wise counsel from others.

When we seek wise counsel from others, be transparent with your plans, be mature enough to accept constructive criticism, and be humble enough to make adjustments.

Let’s minimize the unwise choices we make by seeking wise counsel.
