Birds of the same feather… =)
Last Friday, Ptr. LA preached about the importance of having Godly people around you…
Here’s how my notes looked like…
STOP – Being independent
> There are always things that you need help with… So humble yourself and get help!
James 4:6 (New International Version)
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
LOOK – For people to help you
> Look for the right people to get help from… People who are not only book smart but also wise… =)
Proverbs 15:22 (New International Version)
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
LISTEN – To Godly Advice
> If you ask for Godly advice, be ready to listen to it and give importance… Don’t brush it off! Grrr… =p
1 Kings 12:6-8 (Rehoboam’s Story… He didn’t listen to the wise advisers. And we know what happened… Tsk tsk…)
Proverbs 12:1 (New International Version) – I like this verse, direct to the point!
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
Proverbs 12:15 (New International Version)
The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.
Proverbs 13:20
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
Do you want to be wise or be a fool and suffer harm? Birds of the same feather are the same birds…
