Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. Proverbs 11:14
After the Titan submersible imploded during a deep-sea expedition, there was much discussion about what exactly had caused the accident. Various scientific theories were put forth, but many experts seemed to agree that the real problem was more elemental: the head of the company refused to have his designs examined by experts in the field. He had no desire to submit to those who could hold him accountable. Had he done so, disaster most likely would have been averted. What a cautionary tale! How important it is for each of us to have a teachable spirit and to find those who are willing and able to speak the truth in love to us. —Lynn Shatford
Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. —J. Scriven
