Proverbs 15:22 states, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors, they succeed.” This verse highlights an essential truth—seeking guidance leads to better decisions and greater success. Whether the choices we face are major life decisions or everyday matters, wisdom calls us to seek counsel rather than relying solely on our own understanding.

Many people hesitate to ask for advice, fearing it might make them appear weak or uncertain. However, true wisdom is not about having all the answers; it is about recognizing our need for guidance. Turning to trusted mentors, pastors, or wise friends allows us to gain fresh perspectives and avoid pitfalls we might not see on our own.

God often speaks through the counsel of others, using their insight to bring clarity to our circumstances. When we surround ourselves with people who are rooted in godly wisdom, we place ourselves in a position to make choices that align with His will. Seeking wisdom in community strengthens our faith and helps us navigate life with greater confidence.

If you are facing an important decision today, take a moment to seek wise counsel. Invite God into the process, and reach out to someone who can offer godly advice. You may find that wisdom shared leads to better clarity, stronger faith, and ultimately, success in the path God has prepared for you.
