This also comes from the Lord of hosts; He is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom. (Isa 28:29 ESV)
O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. (Isa 25:1 NKJV)
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isa 9:6)
The Lord has declared Himself, through His Word, to be our Counselor. A counselor is one who gives advice, guidance, and direction. A wise counselor also gives warning when they feel it is appropriate.
God, who our Savior as well as our Counselor, gives us:
- Support,
- A listening ear,
- Help, and
- Instruction
We receive many of these blessings through our church family in the person(s) of our Pastor, our elders, and our wise friends. This is a matchless and precious gift to each one of us. What a blessing are our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Rely upon the Lord and His Word for the best counsel that exists anywhere in creation or in the universe!
