Advice and instruction

^{Proverbs 19:20-21}

^20 Listen to advice and accept instruction,

and in the end you will be wise.

^21 Many are the plans in a man’s heart,

but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. (NIV)

ok, so seriously we have talked about advice, both when we have received good and bad advice.  As a student you a probably constantly bombarded by good meaning people giving advice.  You will get it from me (haha), sunday school teacher, school teachers, parents, friends, family, coaches, and sometimes even someone you don't know may overhear a conversation and they will tell you what to do.  So the million dollar question is how do you know whether or not to take the advice or not.  Suggestion one, if i say it do it :-)......  Suggestion two, you really know what The Bible says about it, hence forth why a daily Bible study comes in handy... Suggestion three, use a little common sense. 

Verse 21, really addresses alot of what we deal with on a daily basis.  We all make plans; we may plan to go visit someone, we may plan to go to a movie, we may plan to go to a certain college, we may plan a certain career.... But what happens when our plans seemed to get "foiled". ?  Frustrating isn't it?  Yes, it is very much so.  But here is the thing: some way some how God's plan or purpose get's fulfilled in our lives.... So, when a plan get's foiled for some reason or another keep your eyes open because God altered your plans because He has something else for you to do.

 

Blessings, and have a good day.

Here is something a little fun, comment on some bad advise that someone once gave you, unless it was me of course :)
