Divine Counsel
Without counsel,
plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Proverbs 15:22
It is only the
unwise that rejects a good piece of advice. This is true even more when it is
the counsel of the Holy Spirit. God has blessed us with all that we need to
make right decision and judgments. We have the Word of God, the Holy Spirit and
ministers of the gospel to teach and instruct us in the perfect way. This is
why we cannot afford to make avoidable mistakes.
Proverbs 14:12 says
that “there is a way which seems right
unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Whoever denies the
rich counsel of the Lord has inevitably accepted the way of death. This is
because God is the originator of all plans and purposes and He alone knows how
each of them can be fulfilled. Psalm 33:1 says that “The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to
all generations.”
We must acknowledge
that God has given us His word which is light unto our path and lamp unto our
feet. He has given us the Holy Spirit to live in us; He is our inner counsel
and He teaches us to know all truth. Finally, God has given you His servants –
ministers of the gospel – to instruct us according to His words. For these
reasons, mistakes are alien to the believer. Receive divine counsel today!
Prayer
I thank You Lord
that You have available unto me everything that will enable me to live the higher
life here on earth. I thank You for Your Word, Your Spirit and Your servants. I
now know that I cannot make mistakes in life because I seek counsel. Be
glorified in Jesus’ name. Amen.

119:105; John 14:26; Ephesians 4:8-14
