“Jesus Our Counsellor”
 

Jesus- our counsellor

by Dona Hake

 

Isaiah 9:6

 

 

“…and his name shall be called…Counsellor.”

 

 
Many times we may say or hear “I just do not know what God’s will is in this matter.”  
To receive counsel on a matter is to get an opinion or instruction when one does not know exactly how to handle something.   Oh praise God, our Lord is our Counsellor!  Praise His holy Name for there is nothing too hard for Him to figure out.   There is not one thing too hard for Him to accomplish when it is within His will.  With man something may seem impossible but with our God, our Counsellor ALL things are possible!
 
How sad it is if we do not seek Him in our times of uncertainty.    The Lord desires that we seek His face and know His will that we may prosper in all that we put our hand to.    I believe that He wishes for us to step forward in strong confidence as we recognize His will.  Many times we may know what to do but we just do not know how it is going to all come about.  Our Counsellor understands and He knows how to instruct us.    Oh that we would continue to remind ourselves that His ways and thoughts are higher than ours.   

 

I love knowing that the Lord totally understands any problem we face and anything that we are walking through.  He understands how we think and He knows our strengths and weaknesses.    Just think about it, the One that created Heaven and Earth formed you in your mother’s womb.  He created you for a special purpose.  He is well able to counsel you in His purposes.

 

Today let us reflect on Jesus our Counsellor.  He is always there to listen and as you speak to Him be mindful to also be silent that He can speak tenderly to you.  His loving hand is well able to lead and guide you throughout this day!
