Bible Verses, Scriptures & Quotes About Advice ; Giving and Receiving Advice, Counsel, Suggestions, Correction, Instruction




Thoughts (Please scroll down for Bible Verses About Advice & Counsel)
We should seek and follow God’s advice in all that we do, great and small. Not following God’s advice will only bring sorrow. We should also seek advice from others including godly parents, spouses, friends, loved ones,  fellow believers.

We should not be quick to reject any advice, but we should remember to make sure the advice we receive does not go against God’s word. In love, we should give advice, even when that advice is tough.  We should not be too quick to give advice without understanding a situation fully though. And sometimes, we do not need to give advice… instead, we should just show love and pray. Likewise, we should always be willing to listen to and follow good advice, even when that advice is tough. Wise people appreciate and follow good, godly advice. Seeking and following good advice will make us wise.
