Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:6

No one wins their important battles alone. Wise counsel before acting — especially in serious conflict — is essential. Having multiple wise voices is a safeguard against error and pride.

Memory phrase: Wise counsel keeps you safe.

Talk about it: Who do you go to for good advice when things are hard?

Prayer: God, help me always seek wise advice before doing hard things.
