Godly Counsel: Where to Find It

Godly counsel where to find it? The origin is Christ, of course, but who else can be relied upon to impart understanding that is consistent with God's wisdom if not the one who created it? The Lord has given certain righteous men and women His wisdom and ability to distinguish between good and evil. So pray that God would grant you access to knowledgeable individuals.

Additionally, seek out older mentors who aren't hesitant to deliver the truth in a kind and straightforward manner. You might be encouraged to follow the fruitful route of your seasoned parent or grandfather who is well-versed in the teachings of their Savior Jesus. Pastors, sage authors, educators, or Christ-following friends are all good sources of guidance. Seek for wise counsel, hear what is said, and then confirm its veracity, just like Job did.

It is possible to be surrounded by divine wisdom and yet fail to take advantage of its accessibility. It takes longer to acquire wisdom through prayer than it does to meet companions who support your goals, but the benefits are well worth the wait. Although expedient, a snap judgment may not be effective. Making a good decision is really effective, but it takes time. Thus, go slowly. Don't rush things and then come to regret your choice.

One may choose to offer service to those under their direction, or one may insist on receiving service in return. Be it what you demand or what you model in humble service, godly leaders will tell you that it's the latter that leads to long-term sustainability. That might be anything from emptying the dishwasher to vacuuming and putting out the garbage at home for a male. Planning a budget and sticking to it are two examples of it for a woman. From godly models, godly conduct flows.
