The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who listens to counsel is wise. Proverbs 12:15 AMPC
Few Lessons:
1. Who does the Bible refer to as a fool?- he who says there is no God. It is not just by saying this, but by living it out in your daily life. Do you acknowledge God in your life? Do you consult him before taking any decision, no matter how minute? Have you even given your life to Him, asking him to take total control, or you are still in full control of your life?
2. No wonder a fool would think his/her way is always right. It is only logical that you would follow whatever path your leader determines is right. If self or sin or Satan is the leader, it is only natural that he will determine the course and destination of your life. Unfortunately, it is not what you think is right that is actually right, but what God says is right.
3. It is also not all counsels that you should listen to, but the right kind. How do you determine the right counsel? When you have the wisdom and the power of God himself living inside of you. There is no other replacement and no other path to wisdom. The same Bible says that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. When you fear God, you want to walk in his ways, you want to please him, you want to be led by him. That is the way to life.
Before us today is a choice- wisdom or foolishness; being led by our noses or being led by God. The choice is ours, the eternal consequences are already determined. His time of favour is here.
