Here is today’s Bible reading: 2 Chronicles 17:1-18:34; Romans 9:22-10:13; Psalm 20:1-9; Proverbs 20:2-3.

2 Chron. 18:4 (NIV)
But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “First seek the counsel of the Lord.”

How many times have I failed to apply this wise advice.  God is the source of ultimate wisdom, yet we so often neglect asking for His counsel.  How much hardship could be avoided in our lives if we would seek Him in every situation.
