GOD'S WORD FOR THE DAY

“Listen to Wise Counsel”

1 Kings 12:7

“If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and answer them and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”

This is the Word of God. When Rehoboam became king, he was given an important choice. The elders advised him to listen to the people and serve them, but he rejected their counsel and followed the advice of his young companions. His prideful decision divided the kingdom.

Leadership is not about demanding that others serve us; it is about being willing to serve others. We may have authority, knowledge, or position, but we still need humble hearts that listen to wise and godly counsel.

A single proud decision can damage relationships and create consequences that last for years. Therefore, we should not allow pride to silence wise voices around us.

May God give us humble hearts to listen, wisdom to discern good counsel, and servant hearts that seek to bless rather than control others. Amen.

Have a blessed day with the Lord.
