Who do you listen to? Who are your chief advisers?
The metaphorical woman in Proverbs 8 says that “counsel is mine”. This week we continue our studies into the seven pillars of wisdom and will explore the wisdom pillar called “counsel” and what the Scriptures have to say about this aspect of wisdom. This article will also give some examples of how wise counsel was applied by some of Yahuah’s servants in the Bible.
This week we look at the Pillar of Wisdom called “sound wisdom”, or as some translations put it “sound judgment”.
Proverbs 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 8:13 The fear of Yahuah is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
So far we have looked at Prudence, Discretion, Fear of Yahuah, and Counsel. We have come to see how each one of these pillars works in perfect harmony with all of the other pillars. Not one of these qualities of wisdom works without the support of the others; they overlap, they blend, and they complement. All of them together uphold Wisdom’s house.
Proverbs 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
Those called of Yahuah and who are faithful to Him shall walk upon the high places because of Yahuah their Elohim. For in Him is might and power and strength and He will perfect all things which concern us. He will deliver us from the evil one and will undergird us with His strength.
Want to be strong and to have power? True strength comes from Yahuah alone and by incorporating His wisdom into our lives. To be spiritually strong we must live by every Word of Yahuah and let Him guide and direct us for we are unable to order our own steps wisely; nor can we escape the pitfalls that are placed in our lives except Yahuah protects us by His wisdom and by His Spirit.
We have entered into the days just before the end of this present age; we must watch as never before, but more importantly, pray as never before that no matter what happens to us, we will be counted worthy to meet Yahusha when He comes for His Bride.
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” (Luke 21:36)
