Advisers

On one of my many hikes on Mount Katahdin, my group came across a family huddled between some boulders to escape the wind and cold. The two young girls were between eight and ten years old and their parents were probably in their early thirties. The wife had that look on her face that said to her husband, “What did you get us into?” I don’t think he had a great marital future after this particular expedition.

There have been sixty deaths on Katahdin since 1933, most often because of poor planning and lack of preparation.

That is also true of life because it also can be so unpredictable and dangerous.

The Bible says:

Proverbs 15:22 

Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.

This young couple made it; however, I’m not sure if their marriage did.

Think about it.
