As Christians we have a Wonderful Counselor, Jesus Christ, who has invited us to come to Him and find rest for our souls. Many times we go to others for counseling when we should turn to Him. I really think we should learn to turn to our Wonderful Counselor when we need guidance.
While earthly counsel and advice can be helpful at times, I believe most of us run to an earthly counselor before we really seek the help of the Wonderful Counselor. Many people spend hours each week seeking earthly counsel. But how much time are we willing to devote to seeking God's guidance, asking our Wonderful Counselor to speak to us, through quietly sitting before him, meditating on his Word, praying, and being in an attitude that gives him an opportunity to give us inner guidance?
Why are we so prone to seek earthly counsel instead of heavenly counsel? Well, because we can see and touch and hear an earthly person, and that feels good. Also, it's easier in a sense to seek earthly counsel than to seek heavenly counsel. And then, many times we don't want to hear what we know we'll hear when we go to the Lord. We look for some earthly counselor to validate our action or inactivity and make us feel better about what we know is wrong.
If you've been seeking earthly counsel, examine your heart and see if you've been doing it for the wrong reasons.
