Advice

 Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.
Proverbs 15:22 ESV

Proverbs are general truths. They're not necessarily always right in every situation. A classic exception is Absalom who had David's best counsellor in Ahithophel, but whose advise was thwarted by Hushai.

As a general rule however, the more advise the merrier. Many hands make light work. Too often those in power surround themselves with yes men though.

Leaders need counsellors who aren't afraid to tell them hard truths. Advisors need to not have to worry about getting punished for telling rulers if they think they need to change course. Too few leaders are good listeners.

This proverb applies to ordinary people like us too. We might think we have good ideas, but unless we check with others, we might have the wrong end of the stick. It's always worth getting a second, or multiple, opinions.

'Heavenly Father, please help us to make wise decisions informed by good advice. Thank You for the counsel of Your Word and Spirit, in Christ's name we pray, amen'
