What does Proverbs 8:14 mean, counsel is mind and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength? Where do you find the right counsel and sound wisdom?
Counsel is mine and sound wisdom
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength (Proverbs 8:14)
Where do you find the right counsel and sound wisdom? The answer is in the Bible; the Word of God. The Word possesses the words of God, which are the truth and contains the wisdom and counsel of God.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the living Word is the reflection of God and has all counsel and sound wisdom. Jesus is understanding and has strength and through Him you shall get understanding and strength.
When you read and study the Word of God, you shall find the right counsel and sound wisdom, and you shall get understanding and strength. You shall find everything you need for your life.
The words of God are needed to equip Christians
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
When you are searching for the truth, seek counsel or have questions and are looking for answers, a solution for your problems or you need help or when you go through a rough time in your life and you see no way out, then all you have to do is open the Bible and read the words of God.
Because only in the Word, God’s Word, you shall find sound wisdom and the right counsel. The Word provides answers, and give counsel, instructions, etc. for every question, problem and situation.
When you listen to the Word, receive the Word obey the Word, and apply the Word to your life, you shall live in Him and walk in sound wisdom, understanding, and strength.
