“Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?” And they said to him, “If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak good words to them when you answer them, then they will be your servants forever.” But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.”
- You can always find someone who will support your view, but Godly counsel, tested against the scriptures, will always lead you in the right direction.
When you seek advice from someone, do you test it against God’s word, and God’s character, or do you seek advice from someone else, to find support for your own desires?
