For by wise counsel you can wage your war, and in an abundance of counselors there is victory and safety. Proverbs 24:6 (AMPC)
The point of “abundance of counselors” isn’t necessarily about having many people who give you advice because this can actually bring you contradiction and confusion seeing many people differ in their opinion and course of action.
Abundance of counselors is about emphasizing the priority and preeminence of counsel.
In other words it’s when we prioritize and emphasize counsel above everything else that we realize victory and safety.
In whatever endeavor we undertake, the focus, time, and investment, should be more on the how to do things – this is counsel.
Battles are won by counsel not military manpower, might, or weaponry.
Success in business is so much more a result of wise counsel, than how much money and really even how much harder work you put it.
By counsel relationships are built and stand. Family, marriage, friendship are all sustained by counsel – the right way to deal with and handle people, things, and situations.
So we should always seek after and walk according to wise counsel.
All wise counsel that leads to success and safety comes from the Lord.
Psalms 16:7 (AMPC) I will bless the Lord, Who has given me counsel; yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
The Word of God is our number one counselor. It’s actually referred to as our counselors
Psalms 119:24 (AMPC) Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
So the multitude or abundance of counselors referred to in our theme Scripture is actually the Word of God. It is also the godly people who can give us godly, Word based counsel.
Set your heart and mind on, search out, and walk in the guidance that comes from the Lord in His Word. Also pay attention to and take advantage of the advice from godly Word grounded people. These are the multitude or abundance of counselors wherein is success and safety.
