We must be careful from whom we seek advice. Lord, please help me to seek godly advice, and even secular or financial advice from godly men. King Ahaziah quickly learnt that following advice from wicked, ungodly men led me to a short reign and the death of himself and his kindred. Where do you go for advice friend? Find you someone who is praying for you, or at least willing to pray for you, and they will seek God’s face and His direction so that the advice given to you might be led by God. Acting on bad advice could very easily destroy you, as it did to King Ahaziah.
He sinned against the LORD, because after his father’s death other members of King Ahab’s family became his advisers, and they led to his downfall.
