Whose Counsel?

Thursday, September 8, 2011
The Lord ordained specific purpose for our lives and He did not mean for us to go it alone. We need wise counsel so emotional traps will not hook us and isolated pride rule the day. Emotion and pride trick our judgment, allowing emotional desire to take over; for every emotional tug that might result in a judgment error. Rescue is available if we heed counsel from God’s Spirit within our own hearts and from those in tune with Him. In the purpose of God we cannot live to ourselves, arbitrarily choosing which path to take and which direction to go; we are not sent forth by Him to then be moved by whim or self-rule.
In Song of Solomon the king’s procession “came up from the wilderness” surrounded by sixty armed and valiant men “wearing swords on the thigh”; the entourage ensured protection against the fear of night—an attack in the dark of night. Night and darkness suggest something hidden from sight and the provision given was for protection against such threat.
If your today is beginning to resemble a wilderness remember to guard your heart against darkness; draw from the entourage of God’s provision—in cadence with the Lord, hearing Him step as you step, surrounded by wise counsel and Godly influencers. For us, as for Solomon the king, a wilderness is no place to go it alone. Song of Solomon 3:6-8
Amen.
