WONDERFUL COUNSELOR

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.    (Psalm 32:8)

  Dearly beloved, our God is wonderful in counsel (Isaiah 28:29). He says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you” (Psalm 32:8). The Lord sees those who have been forsaken by everyone. He shows them the way they should walk. He keeps His eyes upon them and instructs them.

Recently, I had been to Singapore to do the Lord’s ministry. I spoke about Jabez in one of my meetings. His mother had named him Jabez saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory. Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request (1 Chronicles 4:9,10). This was the crux of my message.

One of the sisters who heard my message that day, came running to the dais in order to share her testimony to glorify God. She said, “Today, I have lost everything and I am literally on the street. I do not know what will happen when I return home.”

“Inspite of my agony, I came to this meeting with great expectation. I firmly believe that today’s message was given only for me. Although I have lost everything in life, today God has filled my heart with His divine joy and peace. I am confident that the Lord who sees me will certainly bless me in double measure just as He blessed Jabez.”

After a few days, I received a phone call from the pastor of the church who arranged that meeting in Singapore. He told me, “Sister, do you remember that person who shared her testimony as to how she lost everything in life and how your message was a blessing to her? Today, God has blessed her in an abundant measure and she is leading a happy life.”

In the same way, God saw the tears of Hagar. The angel of the Lord found her near a spring in the desert and asked, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She answered, “I am running away from my mistress Sarai.” Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” Hagar obeyed His words and returned to her mistress. She delivered a child at the right time and her family was blessed (Genesis 16:15).

Even today, the Lord is looking at you. He wants to be with you and guide you. When you obey His instruction, He will supply all your wants and bless you.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are wonderful in counsel. You are the Lord who sees me and knows my situation. Trusting in your faithfulness, I submit my life to You. I choose to obey your words and live by your counsel. Guide me with your divine counsel and enable me to experience your wonderful grace. May blessings follow me all the days of my life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
