‘In the multitude of counsellors there is safety.’ What does that mean? Well it is the war context actually when you look at it.
In other words, this is not some sort of sanction for having big committees. This is simple advice in the Christian life that everything you do you, needs to be done thoughtfully and carefully, taking account of all the facts. If you are job hunting, home hunting, wife seeking, or husband seeking, you are careful. You do not just act on impulse or do it intuitively. Wisdom thinks, ‘in the multitude of counsellors,’ looking at all the factors at your disposal. To make a wise decision prayerfully before the Lord you take account of everything and you neglect nothing.
