Plans and Counsel
“Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.”
NO ONE PLANS ALONE
A plan drawn up in isolation carries all our blind spots. God designed wisdom to be sought in community.
HUMILITY TO LISTEN
Asking for counsel means admitting you cannot see everything. Pride insists on deciding alone — and pays dearly for it.
MANY ADVISERS
One voice can be wrong; several wise voices correct one another. Build a circle, not just a contact.
TEST THE VOICES
Not every opinion is counsel. Seek out people who fear the Lord, know you well, and have the courage to disagree with you.
PLANS THAT TAKE ROOT
Like well-planted wheat, a counseled plan takes root and stands against the wind. Today's counsel is tomorrow's harvest.
ASK FOR COUNSEL TODAY
Act: before breakfast, message one wise, God-fearing person and ask their honest input on a decision you face this week.
