Ecclesiastes 9:17 "Wise Council"


            “The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.”

            When we are making difficult decisions in our lives and we turn to others for advice and counsel, it is much easier to follow the advice that seems good, or sounds like the more enjoyable way to go. Oftentimes however, the voice of the wise is not the most obvious one, or the loudest; but they are the ones that will do us the most good. The easiest way to discern the quiet voice of wise council in the loud shouts of fools is to consult the Bible. Any advice that contradicts the Bible should have no part in our lives. Let the words of the wise shine through.
