"Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice." -Proverbs 13:10 (NIV)
We may have met people that like to give advice, sometimes even if we haven't asked for it! However, just because "advice" is given doesn't mean we have to follow it. It can be wise to follow advice, as long as we are sure of the source and the soundness of the advice we are receiving!
Following advice means that we need to put aside our pride or our attitudes that we know best. Receiving advice requires listening that can lead to action. When the advice comes from God, we can be sure that the advice is sound. Whether we wanted God's advice or not, it is in our best interest to accept and follow God's advice. When we take God's advice, we can avoid strife and gain wisdom!
Got advice? Listen to God's advice and gain wisdom!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your advice and wisdom. Help me to always listen and follow Your guidance. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
