Reflection: Wisdom’s Fifth Pillar: Counsel
Proverbs 15:22 teaches us the importance of seeking wise counsel and collaboration. It reminds us that success often stems from gathering insights from others and walking together in shared wisdom. This lesson resonates deeply, especially when facing challenges that impact not just us but entire communities. Whether we are making personal, professional, or spiritual decisions, seeking guidance is key to achieving outcomes that honour God.
At megavoice Australia, my work enables me to put this teaching into action as we strive to bridge the digital divide. A staggering 90% of pastors globally do not have formal theological training or the tools they need to serve their congregations effectively. Without wise counsel and proper resources, they struggle to lead their communities in faith. Our response to their need lies in collaboration. Just as Proverbs teaches us, our success in delivering the gospel to these areas comes through shared wisdom and thoughtful innovation. Together with partners and advisers, we’re developing a digital solution that brings the Bible and essential resources to even the most isolated communities and pastors, ensuring that, no matter how remote, they can grow in their faith.
As you reflect on this verse, think about how you can help provide counsel and resources to those who have none. Together, through prayer, partnership, and action, we can ensure that every plan to reach people with the life-changing power of God’s word succeeds.
Prayer:
Lord, we ask for your wisdom as we work to bridge the digital and educational divides in our world. Guide us to seek counsel from others and partner with those who can help us bring your word and knowledge to pastors and communities in need. May our efforts foster inclusion, growth, and hope. Amen.
