Men and women of God!

This is a verse to think on:

Proverbs 11:14
14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

As I was reading this verse this morning it brought to mind this thought about the church: Without the counsel of men and women of God where would we be? Think about this morning of where we are in society today. Can you even begin to imagine society without the church? If we don't make some changes soon we may see or our kids may see a society without church.

In verse 14 it tells us without counsel, people fall. I believe God is telling us here we don't just need counsel, we need godly counsel. I hear many folks on T.V. give counsel that is not worth 2 cents. But when we can get counsel that comes from God's word...that is what makes a difference in peoples lives! The rest of verse 14 goes on to say when we have many counselors we have safety, This is where I see the importance of the church. This is where we find a multitude of counselors. Wow I think of my life since giving it to Christ and how many folks have poured into my life from several churches! Oh thank you Jesus for the multitude of counselors and for the safety in Jesus they have provided.

Do you see how society can be much more safe and in the arms of God IF we will follow the counsel of men and women of God in the church???

Thank a person who has given you some good counsel from God today....they made a difference in your life!
