Finding Counsel in the Word of God

The sermon explores the apparent contradiction between Proverbs 11:14, which states safety lies in the multitude of counselors, and the repeated affirmation that safety is of the Lord. Through examining the biblical usage of both 'safety' and 'counselor,' the message clarifies that true safety isn't found in worldly advice or consensus, but rather in adhering to God's testimonies and seeking divine guidance. The speaker ultimately resolves the tension by recognizing that 'counselor' is also a name for God, emphasizing that reliance on God's word provides wisdom and enduring security, surpassing any human counsel.
