[5] Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. [6] Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. [7] Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. [8] Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor when you embrace her. [9] She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”
I have been on the receiving end of some really bad advice. Unfortunately, I have (at times) applied that advice to my life. It never turned out well. I learned from it, but I regretted listening to people I shouldn't have listened to.
Scripture is filled with sound principles and solid instructions about life. I thought I knew what I was doing until I started trying to figure out what God wanted me to do. Over the past several years of digging into God's Word, I have yet to have a bad experience applying His advice to my life.
Why would He want to steer me wrong? He is the one who is orchestrating my future.
