Multitude Of Counselors

Proverbs 11:14; Proverbs 12:15; Proverbs 27:9

Proverbs 11:14

14 For lack of guidance a nation falls,
but many advisers make victory sure.


Proverbs 12:15

15 The way of a fool seems right to him,
but a wise man listens to advice.


Proverbs 27:9

9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.

Bee's Thoughts:

Most people tend to call anyone they know "friends". Yet who is considered a friend? One who gives another "earnest counsel", says Proverbs 27:9. Based on this meaning of friendship, how many "friends"do we really have? Very few for me.

When I feel lonely and that no one understand me, I aways remember the hymn:

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.


Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for being my friend who will never leave me not forsake me.Thank You for giving me Your Counsellor who will lead me to do the right path when I lost my way.

Thank You for giving me my best friend too, who can pray and share my burdens. Let me be a friend too,just like You do.
In Jesus' nameI pray. Amen.
