Thought for the Week
Proverbs 15;22
Without counsel, plans go awry, but in
the multitude of counsellors they are
established.
**********************
Wonderful, wonderful, Jesus is to me,
Counsellor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God is He;
Saving me, keeping me from all sin and shame,
Wonderful is my Redeemer, praise His name!
***********************
If you seek wise counsel, you multiply your chances
for sound decisions.
