“God doesn’t make any mistakes”
Woe unto the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me, and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin.
Isaiah 30:1
Have you ever needed help, but after you sought it, you realized that you had went to the wrong place to get it? The Word of God can help us to learn from the mistakes of others. You see, Israel had sought help down in Egypt, far away from God. Help down there was just a pipe dream, just a mirage in the desert.
Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then all the good things will be added unto us. We have to allow God to be our source. Taking counsel from the secular and the ungodly is just another path to a train wreck. Sadly, many today are taking lots of counsel, but little of it is coming from God. They are covered, but not covered by the Spirit of God. Their covering is hard and cruel, with no humility or kindness. I pray your counsel is coming from God and His Word and not some man, or some man-made premise. God gives us wise counsel. We would be wise to take it.
