#23: Proverbs 15:22 - Seek Wise Counsel

Story summary

In this Bible lesson, the class competes in a soapbox derby, and Red decides to “go it alone” and built the ultimate race car. When his plans start to fall apart, he learns a valuable lesson from Proverbs 15:22 and the importance of team work.

Proverbs 15:22

Without counsel plans fail,
    but with many advisers they succeed.

What did We Learn?

  • When we don’t ask for help it can cause us problems.
  • We need other people sharing their wise words with us.
  • We need teamwork and not to be loners or lone wolves.
  • Most importantly, we need the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit. He is the One Who can guide our lives towards the true success of glorifying Jesus.

Let's Pray

Dear Heavenly Father,
Teach our hearts to accept help and guidance from those who are wiser.
Cause your Holy Spirit to teach wisdom to our hearts.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
