“Good Advice… or Just What You Want to Hear?” July 7
Who do you listen to when you’re facing a difficult decision?
Most of us like to think we’re looking for wise counsel. But if we’re honest, isn’t it easy to keep asking until someone finally tells us what we wanted to hear all along?
The Bible warns us about that very temptation. Today’s readings show us a king who had access to excellent counsel but rejected it in favor of advice that appealed to his pride—and the consequences changed a nation.
We’ll also discover why prosperity without God never satisfies, and why perhaps each of us has been placed in this generation “for such a time as this.”
