Have you ever been given some really solid advice? I can think back over my life and remember folks giving me some rock solid advice. And, when followed, that advice will do things for you and keep you from doing things that you ought not do.
On the other hand, I have also had a lot of bad advice. I am sure we have all had those folks in our lives that will tell us things that will do nothing but harm us. As a matter of fact, there are folks out there that will give you advice not only to watch you fail but so they can laugh at your failure. You have to be on the lookout for the bad advisers.
Today's word is Proverbs 15:7, NLT, which reads, "The lips of the wise give good advice; the heart of the fool has none to give."
So, the problem with getting good advice is where someone's heart is, or what is in someone's heart, which makes perfectly good sense. People who are wise are going to tell you things from a heart of wisdom that will benefit you. The flip side of wisdom, though, is foolishness. And, according to today's word, the fool has no good advice to give. So, don't listen to the fools.
I pray that, when given the chance, I have some good advice to dispense to others. Now, I am not very wise. BUT, I have JESUS, Who dwells in my heart, and if I will allow Him to direct my words, they will come out full of wisdom. There is good advice out there and bad. Pray for discernment to know the difference.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
