Seeking Wisdom From God

When you are facing a lot of emotional turbulence over decisions you are having to make in a world gone crazy how do you handle things? Most of us spend a sleepless night trying to figure out a solution. Or we offer up a few prayers complaining to God, “Why are you letting this happen to me?”, when we should ask the Lord to provide wisdom in our heart and spirit as to how we should proceed. “Yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding ...then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.” (Prov. 2:3, 5)

   We need to seek out wisdom from God but also from wise men that we respect whom God can and does use to help us. We may not want to hear what they may say to us. Somethings are hard to hear and receive. But God assures us that “whoever heeds instructions is on the path to life.” (Prov. 10:17) Even when the advice given is not spot on we will usually find a grain of truth in the advice. Remember and heed, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”
