Bible Commentary

Proverbs 11:14

Wisdom is rarely a solo pursuit. Those who reject counsel and trust only themselves fall. Safety — in decisions, in leadership, in life — comes from seeking and accepting input from multiple wise, godly counsellors.

Memory phrase: Many counsellors bring safety.

Talk about it: Who are the wise people you should listen to?

Prayer: God, help me listen to wise advice.
