Jeroboam is about to start leading the Israelites as their king. The leaders ask for a lighter yoke to be placed upon them than what Solomon did. Jeroboam seeks counsel from two different groups of people. Those with experience and those without it. Choosing who to take counsel from is an important part of the decision making process.
Here are a few thoughts to consider when seeking counsel:
1) Do you have respect for the one you are seeking counsel from?
2) Have they been where you are attempting to go in regards to the decision?
3) Are they quick to take praise or say, "I told you so?"
4) Does their counsel contradict the Word of God?
5) Do you feel they have your best interest in mind?
Heart and Soul,
