God, My Wonderful Counselor

 Psalm 16:7 “I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;”  Where do you go for good advice?  Why not go to God Himself?  How do you hear the voice of God?  God has spoken in His Word, the Bible.  It is His LOGOS – the objective spoken words of God Himself.  “But I need advice about my particular problem today”.  That is where the Holy Spirit comes into the picture.  He will give you a RHEMA – individually applied truth.  The Holy Spirit lives inside every believer in Christ.  He will bring just the right verse of Scripture to your mind as you read, study, memorize and meditate on the verses of the Bible.  “But that sounds like a lot of work!”  It is!  But it is so worth it.  When we allow God’s Word to abide in us and we abide in it, our lives become fruitful for God’s glory.  We are then led by the Spirit, empowered and encouraged by the Spirit.  Then we live out our sonship in the experiences of our lives.  God has written the “script” of your life in His Word.  The Holy Spirit is the one who takes that basic script and applies it to your situation right now.  Don’t walk in the counsel of the ungodly.  Instead, get your counsel from the “WONDEFUL COUNSELOR”.  Think about it and do it!
