What in the notes did you find revealing, challenging or interesting?

I understand now why God wants you to seek counsel from Him and godly human counselors. I was not taught this concept growing up, so over the years, I have made many mistakes. Some of the counsel I received was from ungodly persons and some were biased. I am thankful that through it all God still guided my path because without knowledge I still had faith to trust Him on some level. I understand how challenging it can be to receive counsel from others because we usually want to do things our way.

Every bit of information was interesting and rewarding. I was never taught the principles of saving, giving, and investing.
-
That I should seek my parents advice on money even if they have not yet found Christ or managed their money well, as a way of showing them honor.
-
I can say that no debt is the best way. Only spend what I can afford to pay for and it is best to pay credit cards in full by due date or before.

It’s revealing how God emphasizes seeking wise and godly counsel in decision-making, and how relying only on facts, without faith, can lead to failure, as shown in the story of the spies in Numbers 13-14. I found it interesting that even small groups or trusted friends can provide helpful counsel. The reminder to avoid biased or ungodly counsel was challenging, as it requires discernment to filter advice wisely.
