Day 20
Bible Text: Isaiah 9:6
“And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor.”
Each society has people considered to be experts, people who are smart and gifted. Yet we discover how their wisdom often falls short, and that they too are flawed people. We need a Counselor, someone who is all wise, who knows us best, who understands our situation and gives us brilliant counsel. The Apostle Paul wrote, “the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength” (1 Corinthians 1:25). Paul points to Jesus Christ as the “wisdom of God” (:30)
We can get angry at our governmental leaders, or the experts in their respective fields. But really what we need is to acknowledge Jesus as our “wonderful Counselor”, and to take direction from him. In confessing him as your Lord and Savior, you are doing just that. His wisdom doesn’t play by our world’s rules, but brings heaven’s brilliance to your problems and issues. Will you listen to him? Will you heed his advice? Will you step out in faith and do what he suggests? I promise the more you do, the more you’ll recognize how wonderful a counselor he actually is!
Prayer: Lord God, you are brilliant, I acknowledge that. Help me trust you and take one small step at a time as you direct. I pray for a nation full of people who acknowledge Jesus as their Wonderful Counselor and walk in his ways. May your infectious wisdom in me draw others to you, Lord! In Jesus’ name.
