Money Matters – Seeking Good Counsel
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. – Proverbs 12:15
We need to be very careful that we do not ever try to go through life and making important decisions alone. God wants us seek HIM first and His Word. However, He also wants us to seek out godly counsel in all areas…including money matters.
Wisdom comes when we seek good counsel. We will accomplish more and have less frustrations when we seek for and ask those who know more about money, budgets, and investing.
Who should we Counsel With?
Obviously God first!
And then…..
There are several options, depending on your circumstances and the issue you need assistance with.
- your husband, of course
- parents – they know you better than anyone
- close friends
- pastor or leader
- someone who knows about money matters
On the flip side, you should AVOID counsel from worldly people, those who have no experience with money or budgeting, and anyone who would lead you away from what God’s WORD says about money.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. – Proverbs 12:15
Let’s Pray;
Daddy God, Thank You for Your Word and the Truth, Help, and Life that it holds. Help me to find the answers I need when I need them. Lord, please help me to know who I need to counsel with in the matter of my finances. Help me to seek counsel from those that YOU want me to. I love You, Lord, and I want my life to be ALL that You created to be…including money matters! In Jesus Mighty Name.
Our Homework:
Memorize this Scripture:
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. – Proverbs 12:15
Study the Following Scriptures:
(Each week I will give you 7 different passages or groups of Scriptures…Each bullet equals one for every day of the week until we meet again.)
- Proverbs 11:14; 13:10; 15:22
- Psalm 16:7; 32:8; 106:13-15
- Psalm 119:24; 119:105

Pray daily for God to show you where you are not lined up with His Word in the realm of money, possessions, and financial matters. Seek Him daily about contentment and pursue a thankful attitude in all things.
In His Love and Service,
