Do You Need Wisdom?
“Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.”
Proverbs 15:22

Ponder This
Notice in verse 22, “in the multitude of counselors” this wisdom is established. If I had it to do over again, I would have more family counsels. We had family worship, but I would bring the family together. We would sit down, and I would listen to each person, and we would, as a family, say everything we had belongs to us equally. We would share the amenities and the responsibilities, and we would learn to make decisions together. We would make a family budget and we would stick to it. We would make decisions as a family about discipline and many other things. The parents are the head of the family, but there is wisdom in doing these things together.
- How have you experienced the truth that plans are established in the multitude of counselors?
- How does living this way help us to rely less on ourselves and more on God?

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
