Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Fools think they are always right, but the wise seek counsel.
Pride convinces us that our own way is always right, closing us off from the wisdom of others. True wisdom recognizes our blind spots and actively seeks outside perspective. Listening to advice demonstrates humility and protects us from costly mistakes born of our limited understanding.
Apply This Today
Before making an important decision today, seek counsel from at least one wise, godly person.
Prayer
Lord, humble my heart to receive counsel. Protect me from the foolishness of thinking I always know best. Amen.
