DONT' BE FOOLISH

 The way of a foolish person seems right to him. But a wise person listens to advice. 16 Foolish people are easily upset. But wise people pay no attention to hurtful words.  Proverbs 12:15-16 (NIRV)

There are so many key points locked in these two scripture verses. Verse 15 says, the way of a fool is right in his own eyes. Think about it for a minute. Have you found yourself in situations where you do not know what to do to get a solution? You have tried everything but nothing seems to be working. You were advised to switch gears and do things differently, yet you insist on your own way. You say my way is better, when you know full well that you have tried everything and nothing seem to be working. Here the writer of this scripture says being right in your own eyes is foolish, but the he who heeds and listens to good and godly council is wise.

You may be going through a similar situation as described, perhaps you are always angry when corrected and you are very stubborn, always saying my way or no way, I want you to pause and rethink your decisions, be wise, seek council and heed to it. You must be wise in all your dealings.

PRAYER
Lord, Let me not be wise in my own eyes, but let me be filled with wisdom to know the right steps to take. Help me to always walk according to your will and your purpose. I pray that you will help me to daily seek good and Godly council and the grace the heed to it, in Jesus Name.

JOURNAL
In your journal today, write down a situation that you may be going through, that you have not sought good council, or where you may have been stubborn and not listen to reason. Write down what you are feeling about the advise you have received in the past and seek out a solution using the many council you have received. If you have not sought council ever before, well be wise, today is a new day to rise above anger and  foolishness and seek help.
