People offer much advice.
Some is poor, but some precise.
We must sift the wheat from chaff,
For wisdom is not half-and-half.
There should not be a “worldly” mix.
If we’re not sure we should say “Nix”.
The Word of God is our best mirror
And helps our thinking to be clearer.
Some advice may have allure
But we should wait until we’re sure.
Haste can make waste we don’t need.
We must weigh advice we heed.
“Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly...(following their advice, their plans and purposes)...”
Psalm 1:1 Amplified Bible
“The wise also will hear and increase in learning, and the person of understanding will acquire skill and attain to sound counsel (so that he may be able to steer his course rightly).”
Proverbs 1:5 Amplified Bible
