LeadTip #3 Heeding Wise Counsel

Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life. Proverbs 4:13

It is better to search our hearts before the risk of calamity approaches. Are we willing to wait on the Lord, obey godly counsel, cast down pride, carnal desires, and impulses, for the better God has for us, for abundant life! 

The captain of the Titanic was warned several times to change the course of his ship due to icebergs.  Rather than heeding wise counsel, he was blinded by pride and impulse to take the fastest and shortest route. His infamous words are, “God himself could not sink this ship.” This decision resulted in the death of 1,515 people.
