Chapter: Proverbs 16 | Verse: Proverbs 15:22
We all want to make wise decisions—but too often we go solo. Solomon says wisdom multiplies when counsel increases. The loneliest decisions are usually the worst ones.
“Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.” — Proverbs 15:22, LSB
Proverbs 16 reminds us that while we plan, God directs. But planning wisely doesn’t mean isolation—it means collaboration.
We need godly voices to weigh our assumptions, expose our blind spots, and point us to truth. And when those voices are anchored in Scripture and love, they don’t compete with God’s will—they help us discern it.
This isn’t about pleasing people. It’s about pursuing wisdom. And according to Solomon, that pursuit is a team sport.
Are you seeking godly counsel—or avoiding it?
- Name two trusted believers you could seek advice from this week.
- Bring one big decision to prayer—and to wise community.
- Remember: spiritual maturity invites accountability.
We’re not meant to walk alone. Walking with God is built around truth and community. Every episode helps you think clearly, live wisely, and seek counsel that glorifies Christ.
Closing Prayer
Father, help me seek wise counsel—and listen with a humble heart. Surround me with voices that lead me closer to You.
