The Cost of Good Advice
“The king answered the people harshly, for he forsook the advice of the elders which they had given him, and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men…” (1 Kings 12:13-14)
Advice from people who think exactly like you is of no benefit. They simply tell you what you already agree with. Advice from those who are older, more experienced, and successful where you have not yet trodden is invaluable – they can give you a wisdom that your own experience has not had time to attain.
The cost of such wisdom is disappointment. Like King Rehoboam in the verses above, taking the advice of those more experienced than us would necessitate making different choices than what we desire. Good advice is hard to get but oftentimes even harder to accept.
