Proverbs 11 11:14
 Where there is no guidance, a people falls,
 but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

Proverbs 20:18
Plans are established by counsel; by wise guidance wage war.
 

          Every day I am making decisions, some seemingly insignificant such as ….What will I have for breakfast? or What will I wear? Where will I get gas? (you get the picture) And then there are decisions that are much more significant? Relationship choices…job choices….big purchases….(you get the picture).
          The less significant decisions come easy…usually. But the bigger ones, the ones that will effect others or have a lot of emotion attached, are not always so easy and require godly counsel at times. I know for me when there is more at stake and my emotions are involved it is hard for me to see clearly. I see things from my perspective.  My lens is custom designed by my life experience. I may not be able to see the whole picture. I need godly counsel  to help make the best decision.
          That’s why I am grateful to have godly friends with their own lens, custom designed by their life experience. Together we are able to have a panoramic view on a particular situation which makes it much easier to make a decision.
It’s not that their lens is better or mine is bad, it is just different by design. The design of our Creator. And in our differences we are able to assist and strengthen one another.
          Father, Thank You for all the godly counsel you provide thru the masterpieces you have created. May you be honored and glorified by the picture we paint as we love one another in action and truth (1 John 3:18).

Ecc 4:9,10 ESV
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up.
