THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

IT’S

CRUCIAL TO REMAIN OPEN AND RECEPTIVE TO ADVICE

Are you grappling with a significant decision today? God is eager to provide you with GUIDANCE. He aims to STEER your path. Often, He communicates through the INDIVIDUALS He has brought into our lives. This aligns with the biblical principle that safety lies in the counsel of MANY.

God INTENDED for us to live within FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES, and CONGREGATIONS. We should remain OPEN and willing to ACCEPT advice. However, after you’ve PRAYED and considered ALL the options, be courageous enough to make a DECISION that suits YOU. Trying to satisfy EVERYONE by engaging in activities you don’t truly DESIRE will only lead to self-DECEPTION. You may exhaust yourself attempting to conform to an identity that isn’t YOURS, risking the loss of GOD’S optimal PLAN for your life.

Ensure that those who ADVISE you to have garnered your RESPECT as a source of WISDOM. Then, guided by God’s WORD, follow your HEART and do what YOU believe is right and BENEFICIAL for you.

TODAYS SCRIPTURE:

Where there is no guidance the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory.

Proverbs 11:14, NASB
