I never had the opportunity to thank him for his counsel. Many times he would invite me into his office for a serious talk, usually after I’d pulled some boneheaded act. He died before I was mature enough to understand what he was trying to accomplish in my life. He was my high school principal who had spent some of his youth as a medic, looking after marines who are known to often find themselves in danger.
Now I try to thank those who have given me good counsel and there are many.
What I am today is a result of good counsel.
The Psalmist put it like this:
Psalms 32:8-10
I will instruct (counsel) you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.
The Bible makes it clear we should seek good counsel from His Word.
Think about it.
