Psalm 16:7-8

I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; indeed, my heart (mind) instructs me in the night. I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand I will not be shaken.  

Our confidence as Christians builds by our fellowship with the Lord.  The word of God shows us His love and guidance to avoid the pitfalls of life.   Whether the counsel is for something large or small, the direction keeps us on the right path.
