seek not to counsel the Lord

Jacob 4:10
"Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand.  For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works."

This is good advice.  How many times do we try to tell the Lord what our will is and counsel Him?  I've heard it said that if you want to make the Lord laugh, tell him your plans.  He knows what's best for us, and so we should strive to seek His will in all things.
