Wisdom Through Counsel: Wisdom in Accepting Advice

 

"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a person who listens to advice is wise." — Proverbs 12:15

A fool rejects advice because he believes his way is right. The world often labels such a person as self-confident, independent, or intelligent, but the Bible calls them a fool. Self-examination, skepticism about one’s own actions and opinions, caution are characteristic of the wise. Walking on the wrong path while believing it is correct is dangerous. Ignoring such danger is not courage—it is foolishness.

I don’t want to be like the fool described in this verse. I will seek wisdom and remain open to accepting the right advice.
