#soap # 1 Kings 22 ## Title: Seek The Lord’s Counsel ## Scripture: (1 Kings 22:7) But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord still here, that we may ask him?” (NET) ## Observation: Proverbs says that it is good to get counsel from others. This is true. The best thing is to get counsel from several different sources. These can be people who have been through your situation before, people who are friends and care about you, and those who are completely removed and can give you unbiased advice. However, the greatest counsel is from the Lord. God is all these wrapped up in one. The best way to do this is through God’s Word. When we read God’s Word daily, we slowly begin to gain the mind of Christ. We begin to understand His ways and how He does things. This helps us to know what He would have us do. ## Application: Read God’s Word so we can gain His counsel. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for caring about us.
