Proverbs 12:15 warns, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.” This verse speaks to the danger of self-reliance and pride. It’s easy to become blinded by our own perceptions and beliefs, especially when we feel confident in our own understanding. However, wisdom comes when we are willing to listen to others, especially those who have walked the path we are on. A fool is someone who dismisses others’ advice, believing their own way is always right. But the wise person is humble and willing to accept guidance and correction. In the context of a Christian life, it’s crucial to seek godly counsel—whether from Scripture, spiritual leaders, or wise peers. God often speaks through others, and our willingness to listen is a sign of spiritual maturity.
