Proverbs 1:5 (NKJV) 5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel…
God’s word has a lot to say when it comes to wisdom.
We’re encouraged to gain wisdom, listen to those with wisdom and heed words of wisdom.
When we’re young, we can be foolish and ignorant in so many ways. We can make a lot of mistakes as we try to find our way through situations we encounter.
It pays for us to seek the advice and counsel of those who are older than us and who have walked through many things in life. Experience has taught them a lot and we can learn much from them.
This is also true when it comes to learning new things, no matter how old or young we are. We can be advanced in our years and still lack knowledge and understanding In many things.
But if we follow God’s advice and seek counsel, we can continue to learn and gain understanding in new areas. And when we do this, it allows us to make choices that are sound.
And this can save us a lot of heartache, headaches and frustration in our lives.
So we encourage you to seek counsel when you need it. Asking questions of people who are more experienced is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it’s the smart thing to do.
Proverbs 19:20 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days.
