Was reading in 1 Kings 12 last night where it talks about King Rehoboam. Striking to me was his lack of discernment. Instead of listening to the elders who has served the king and their advice, Rehoboam listened to his buddies. He led the people in such a way that soon nobody was following him.
It's so easy to listen to the wrong advice. I love listening to people and their different opinions, but when push comes to shove, my first responsibility is to listen to God and what He tells me to do. Granted, He often sends wisdom in the form of others along the way, but I need to be cautious not to put too much weight in bad advice!
