5 Keys to Winning in Life: Wisdom From Proverbsਨਮੂਨਾ

Principle #2- Invite Wise Counsel

We've all faced moments of doubt or confusion. In those times, our perspective can be limited. Proverbs 15:22 wisely advises, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."

God's wisdom often comes through the counsel of others. Jesus sought wisdom by asking questions in the temple.

If you're struggling in any area of life – or even if you're not – seek out those who are succeeding where you want to grow. Look for mentors who embody both godly character and expertise in their field. However, be discerning in whose advice you follow. As Proverbs 14:7 cautions, "Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips."

Pray for discernment in choosing wise counselors and the humility to receive their input.

Challenge yourself to schedule a meeting with someone you admire in an area where you want to improve. Consider reading a book on the topic to further expand your understanding.
