Proverbs 19:20

Proverbs 19:20

Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life.

God’s Word emphasizes the importance of living in community. This verse reminds us that no one is wise enough to grasp all the issues related to a problem nor to anticipate all the possibilities for solving it. We need the advice and instruction of others in order to make wise decisions. In what areas do you struggle with asking for advice? When do you find yourself resisting instruction? Ask God to help you let go of your pride so you can be open to receiving godly counsel. God may use the voice of a trusted friend to speak an important truth into your life.
