Seeking Counsel

Can’t remember if I’ve ever quoted a bible verse in my daily list but there’s always a first. Proverbs chapter 15 verse 22 says “without counsel purposes are disappointed but in the multitude of counsellers they are established.”

My reason for the quote today - whose advice do you seek?

I have a small circle of those I adore. Not simply for their character but their counsel. Individuals who are wise. Individuals with wisdom and expertise beyond mine. “Without counsel purposes are disappointed…” in other words, when I’m not consulting with others my plans/purposes aren’t fulfilled or fall short. Has that happened to you?

I had a couple of conversations last night, one with my sagely cousin, the other with my writing mentor. Both conversations were fruitful, in as much as my thinking shifted.

Today, Tuesday, August 13, 2019, I am grateful that:

I have people within my circle willing to offer their experience and share their insights. Those insights have helped me develop into a more impactful person with a different perspective in fulfilling my purpose.

I’m willing to listen and digest the wisdom of others. It’s one thing to have those willing to share and being willing to listen and follow directions.

Those within my circle have gotten me this far. “Long is the road...” and I’m happy they’ve been along for this part of the journey. Others will undoubtedly come and go but I’m amazed by the insights of the ones with me presently.

Seek Counsel. Be Impactful!
