Safety in Numbers

Today's Scripture

“Where there is no guidance the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory” (Proverbs 11:14, NASB)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Are you facing an important decision today? God wants to give you the answer. He wants to direct your steps. Many times, He will speak to us through the people He has placed in our lives. That’s why the Bible says that safety is found in a multitude of advisors.

God designed us to live in families, communities and congregations. We need to be open to receiving input from the people who are close to us. That doesn’t mean you have to follow everything everyone tells you, but if you’re in a particular situation or relationship, and all the people around you are giving you the same word of caution, it might be God trying to get a message to you. Take that advice and bring it before the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to confirm His perfect plan to your heart. Remember, wisdom comes from God and wise counsel will always be in agreement with God’s Word. He will always confirm the answer when you ask Him.

Whatever you are facing today, be open to receiving wise counsel. As you do, you will be blessed and protected and walk in confidence down the path the Lord has prepared for you!

A Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, thank You for the people You have placed in my life as wise counsel. Help me understand Your truth so that I can make godly choices. Keep me close to You always and lead me in the way everlasting in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Just shared about this. This is a we program. Me alone with me is bad company. There is no one to argue with me, bring me down out of the clouds and plant me in reality.

The fears, worries, and anxieties take over my mind and we don't see a way out and if I am alone, there is no one to show me the way.

My God utilizes people, places, and things to show me the way. When I was using, I used people, places, and things to escape reality.

My God has put a lot of good people in my path. My sponsor told me many years ago, "You can learn two things at a meeting. How to work your program and how NOT to work your program." I am very grateful for the people who did my research for me so that I didn't have to go back out and find for myself, that it isn't any better out there and my disease was progressive.
