The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong. They have made God’s law their own, so they will never slip from his path. -Psalm 37:30-31(NLT)
THOSE WHO OFFER GOOD COUNSEL
A poem and essay by ILMA
If you are in trouble and want guidance
Be with those who can give you good assistance
The godly offer good counsel and direction
They know how to navigate through tribulations.
They have decided to live out God’s laws
That is why they keep on track and don’t get lost
Run to those who offer righteous help and advice
They will lead you to Jesus and keep you from lies.

Have you asked someone for counsel and got in trouble later on? I have been going to counselors in some stages of my life because I wanted to thrive in life. There is a misnomer that those who go to counselors are crazy or have mental issues. I think that people who believe this have defeatist attitude and are cowardly. There are many benefits to seeking counsel but you should also ensure that the person you are asking for guidance are those who are not directly opposite your beliefs, or they can mess you up big. I once had a counselor who I saw for about a year, weekly and didn’t realize that he made me more confused because he was indoctrinating me another belief system. Go with the godly for counsel.
PRAYER
Lord, lead me only to believers who live your truth for counsel.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to choose who you seek direction from?
