When my husband got a new phone he was playing around asking Siri a lot of questions. He realized it was starting to annoy me since some of those questions should have been meant for me. “Siri, am I handsome?” I said, “Excuse me Siri, (with much attitude) I’ll take this one!” One time when he asked for directions Siri could not locate the destination. So in fun I mentioned, “Siri is stupid.” Steve then proceeded to shock me by speak into his phone, “Siri, my wife says you’re stupid.” I was a little embarrassed – not sure why but Siri’s reply completely surprised me. “I’m just trying to help.”
Most of us are surrounded by those who would love to just try to help. Our culture provides a multitude of counselors if we will ask for help! Whether it be a parent, pastor, friends, aunt, uncle, co-worker, or grandparent. Many of us could greatly benefit from affordable, professional Christian counseling. If you are completely desperate, you can even ask Siri. Although I don’t recommend that!
14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. Proverbs 11:14 (NKJV)
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise. Proverbs 12:15 (NKJV)
22 Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established. Proverbs 15:22 (NKJV)
Are you faced with a situation and in need of advice or counsel? Don’t forget to reach out to those who would love the opportunity to just try to help! How can I help you?
