Does this make any sense? It makes no sense to me.
And there are many counselors out there; they're there. God promised something; don't you think the means to obey His commands are not present among us? There are indeed many good counselors. But if we think none exist, we'll never look. Lee and LSM got us to stop seeking. No; the command is to seek. It's a command, and a promise. We just need faith. Faith and effort.

Great points.
Didn't Rehoboam, son of Solomon, cast off all the wise counsel of Israel for the cheap nods of his sycophants?
Didn't division, conflicts, and chaos result?
History always repeats for those who refuse to learn from it.
