"Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." Proverbs 11:14
Guidance and counsel in modern terms could be compared with mentors. Mentorship is something I have heard of for awhile now, but it wasn't until the past few months to where I actually established a mentor.
During our mentorship meetups we have been going through a book and discussing it together but often time our discussion reaches beyond the topic of the chapter into life circumstances.
I can certainly say these meetings are times of growth and improvement! 📈
You may think you know yourself, but when someone with more wisdom sees you from the outside they sometimes see and communicate things about you that you may have never seen.
I have been learning how important it is to have mentorship and guidance in life. I don't think we were meant to live alone, worship alone, work alone, but rather we are made for community.
Those in your community can speak life or death into you and have the power to shape your trajectory.
I have many time found myself listening to the wrong people and sources.... Social media being one of them (not that it's all bad but too often leads to comparison instead of productive learning)
Proverbs 11:14 may be talking about a kingdom or larger political entity, but I think it reaches even to the individual level.
So, who is speaking into your life? Do you have mentorship in your life or have you even been on the mentoring end? What was your experience?
❓What's an area currently where you feel you are in need of guidance? (Scripture reading, prayer life, fitness, eating habits, marriage/ family, career.... you name it)❓
