We Need Wise Counsel

We need wise counsel all along life's journey. Problems arise as we encounter difficulty. We can be overwhelmed by problems. We don't have all the answers. Help is needed. Who is your counselor? The psalmist said to God, "You guide me with Your counsel" (Psalm 73:24). We need wise counsel from God.

We need wise counsel found in your Bible. God has a unique way of bringing a verse from the Bible at just the right time to encourage and strengthen your faith. He may use another person to deliver the word of faith to you. It could be a word of wisdom or a word of knowledge. A word from God builds your faith and directs your path.

We need wise counsel speaking to our hearts. God's word of counsel always brings peace. Many thoughts may come to our hearts, but not all of those thoughts bring peace. God's thoughts are always identified with peace. "And let the peace of God rule in your heart" (Philippians 3:15).

We need wise counsel available now. No appointment is necessary. God is with you everyday and everywhere. You confront no life situation without His presence. Take heed to words from the Bible that come to mind. Those words are from God's Spirit. He will speak to your heart with words of wisdom and truth. Wise counsel will bring peace to your heart.
