Today’s  Scripture: Proverbs 11:14

Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY MONDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER 2024.

The term “multitude of counsellors” is an interesting one that’s misunderstood by many to mean a multiplicity of counsellors. Even some Bible versions translate it this way. The NIV version, for instance, says, “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.” It’s actually not about a multiplicity of counsellors; the Hebrew word translated “multitude” also means “greatness”, while the word translated counsellors is translated ‘counsel’ many more times in the ‘Authorized version.’

Counsellors provide information. A “multitude of counsellors” therefore means that you’re getting sufficient or accurate information to help you decide an appropriate course of action.

Back in those days when this verse was written, they didn’t have access to as much information as we have today. They had what they called the “king’s advisors.” He depended on them for wise counsel. They were the “wise” men: the king’s counsellors, such as Ahitophel in the days of king David; his counsel was said to be as though one had heard from God (2 Samuel 16:23).

But today, we have lots of materials that we can study to get sufficient information on a subject that can help us make an informed decision. So, it’s about quality of information, not about the number of people you’re calling to counsel you.

However, you have the most dependable Counsellor who can give you the most accurate information you require, and that’s the Holy Spirit. The Psalmist said, “I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons” (Psalm 16:7). The Holy Spirit is the one who instructs you in your inward man. He gives you instructions by which He guides your life. Some of these may not even be expressly dealt with in the Scriptures.

For example, you could require information concerning travelling or making some purchases. The Counsellor in you—the Holy Spirit—can provide you with necessary information to enable you make the right decisions.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit, my divine Counsellor, who lives in me, granting me insight into mysteries and secrets, and sufficient information to make wise and informed decisions and choices. I’m triumphant always and in every place because I’m guided and instructed by the Spirit in all my affairs, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
