Growing up my mother would always tell me to "simply listen to her advice". In the best of her ability she would try to help me through whatever "mess ups" I was involved in at the time. Unfortunately, I thought I knew better. Here I am at a young age thinking I know best. "She has no idea what I'm going through" is what I often told myself. What a Fool that I was. I was so caught up in myself that I didn't make room for counsel.
As believers we still do the same even in our mature age. We try to fix issues and situations in our ability. We think we can outsmart our difficulties and our obstacles. Yet we have wisdom, discernment and counsel of the Super Natural kind at our disposal. Why do we wait to come to God for help? Why do we insist on being stubborn and try to do things our way? Why is it that we wait till everything falls to pieces to get on our knees and seek Him? Our counselor is there for us every day, 24/7. It is best to seek His advice daily. His word is there to help us avoid problems and difficult situations.
Seek Him today and continue to do so daily. You'll avoid being the Fool tomorrow.
Proverbs 1:5 AMP
The wise also will hear and increase in learning, and the person of understanding will acquire skill and attain to sound counsel [so that he may be able to steer his course rightly].
