The consequences of poor advice, we may guide people away from God’s will. When we give advice to anyone it should be pray, study, and worship God; “never say what I would do” because what we might do could be wrong. We have to be careful to not examine what people say, but what God says, that what leads us to righteousness and change. It’s natural to try and be a marriage counselor to a friend in need, but it is imperative we do not put our feelings into the counseling, but God’s Word. When we give poor advice people will try to fulfill His promise their way and that’s when all hell breaks loose. The advice to give to those in need of help, depressed, sick, or broken is “follow me to the cross and give it to God.” Pray with them to let God’s will be done so we will be in line with His plan for their lives.
Father, let us examine the advice we have learned from Your teachings, instead of listening to man. Lord, when we face hardships and adversities, it natural for us to turn to family or friends; but we must give our cares to You, who can and will direct us. So, we will receive guidance and protection as Christ walks with us through the storm. Lord, give us the patience of Abraham so we won't heed the advice we want to hear; so give us ears that hear Your soft voice. Father, give us wisdom and the knowledge to let You instructed our lives, in Jesus name, Amen
