It is a significant theme throughout Scripture, emphasizing the importance of seeking and heeding wise advice, particularly that which aligns with God's will. Old Testament Insights The concept of counsel is deeply rooted in the Old Testament. Proverbs, a book dedicated to wisdom, frequently addresses the value of good counsel. <a href="/proverbs/11-14.htm">Proverbs 11:14</a> states, "For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but with many counselors there is deliverance." This highlights the collective wisdom found in seeking multiple perspectives. The Hebrew word for counsel, "etsah," often implies not just advice but a well-thought-out plan. <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a> refers to the Messiah as the "Wonderful Counselor," indicating divine wisdom and guidance. This title underscores the belief that ultimate counsel comes from God. New Testament Perspectives In the New Testament, the Greek word "boule" is often used for counsel, signifying deliberate advice or purpose. <a href="/acts/20-27.htm">Acts 20:27</a> records Paul saying, "For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God." Here, Paul emphasizes the importance of understanding and teaching the full scope of God's plan and wisdom. <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> encourages believers to seek divine wisdom: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." This verse underscores the belief that God is the ultimate source of wisdom and counsel. Godly vs. Ungodly Counsel The Bible distinguishes between godly and ungodly counsel. <a href="/psalms/1.htm">Psalm 1:1</a> warns against following the advice of the wicked: "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of mockers." This verse sets the tone for a life blessed by adherence to righteous guidance. Conversely, godly counsel is portrayed as life-giving and beneficial. <a href="/proverbs/19-20.htm">Proverbs 19:20</a> advises, "Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days." This highlights the transformative power of wise advice. Role of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in providing counsel to believers. <a href="/john/14-26.htm">John 14:26</a> describes the Holy Spirit as the "Helper" who teaches and reminds believers of Jesus' teachings. This divine guidance is essential for living a life that honors God. Practical Application Believers are encouraged to seek counsel in various aspects of life, including personal decisions, spiritual growth, and community leadership. The early church exemplified this in <a href="/bsb/acts/15.htm">Acts 15</a>, where the apostles and elders gathered to seek collective wisdom on doctrinal issues. Conclusion While the entry does not include a conclusion, it is evident that counsel, both divine and human, is a vital component of a faithful life. The Bible consistently encourages seeking wisdom from God and wise individuals, emphasizing the transformative power of godly counsel.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/context/2_timothy/3-16.htm">2 Timothy 3:16-17</a> All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Topicalbible.org<a href="/amos/3-7.htm">Amos 3:7</a> Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
