Man's Confusing Advice

2 Samuel 16 & 17

Inspired thots

It is foolishness to seek man's advice instead of God's. Different men will offer different pieces of advice which leads only to one's detriment. Man offers advice that is limited in knowledge and power; sometimes with a personal agenda.

Absalom chose to hear man's advice instead of seeking God, unlike David. Hence, he was given contradicting advice which seemed good in his limited mind but brought on unfavorable results.

Only God has the best of our interests at heart; it is best to seek only God's advice. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
