Give Counsel Wisely! – Job 32:17-33:6
Elihu waited patiently to give his counsel. We can gain insight from how he confronted Job. There is a time to confront others in counseling and some ways to do it correctly.
1. Informed – Elihu listened to all the others and quoted them. Proverbs 18:13
2. Inspired – Elihu said he was inspired by God. 2 Timothy 3:16
Impartial – Elihu did not take sides with anyone. James 2:1-13
When I need to confront someone I must first be sure that I have accurately heard the situation. I must then speak according to the precepts and principles of God. I must not show respect of persons.
Walk with the Lord and give counsel wisely!!!
