Bible Commentary

Proverbs 15:22

No one is wise enough to plan well in isolation. Seeking counsel from multiple wise advisers tests plans against broader wisdom and experience, making them stronger and more likely to succeed. Pride that refuses counsel leads to failure; humility that seeks advice leads to established plans.

Memory phrase: Seek advice. Plans succeed.

Talk about it: Who is a wise person you can ask for advice?

Prayer: God, help me seek good advice always.
