Seek Godly Wisdom

Numbers 10:29-31
And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel. And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.

Thought For Today:

In our quest and zeal to obey and do what God is asking of us, we need to seek out people that will counsel with us and keep us on the right path. 

Moses asked his father-in-law to come with them because he knew how they were to camp in the wilderness.  God had given them instructions as to what tribe was to position themselves where around the Tabernacle and Moses knew that his  father-in-law knew how to get it done. He said, "You will be to us instead of eyes."  What we see may not be what God desires of us and so we need your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, he was saying.  Many people's eyes have fooled them into thinking what they were getting was the real deal, only to find out that it was false and unreal.  They thought they saw a knight in shining armor, only to find out later that it was a bucket of rusty bolts and weight to carry.  They thought they saw Cinderella in silver slippers, only to find out later it was the wicked witch of the west.  They thought they saw the pot at the end of the rainbow, only to find out later it was a bucket with holes in it.  So let me encourage you today, always seek Godly wisdom before you make a major decision, there may be something that you really didn't see.
