COUNSEL FROM GOD’S WORD
Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. Psalm 119:24
God’s Word showed David which alternative to take, which option to pursue, which strategy to employ. He knew when, how, and where to apply God’s Word in times of trouble.…
David had many counselors—brilliant and courageous “mighty men” who surrounded him with advice. But David relied first and foremost on God’s Word to be his counselor. He turned first to what God had to say anytime he faced bad news or difficult circumstances. He found not only comfort but also joy in what he read and studied—he found confidence that God was with him.
We have been asked by the Praying for America Initiative to join with Christian throughout the nation during this month of our foundation. Each day I blog I will include a prayer focus for our nation.
Pray for a great outpouring of God’s Spirit on our nation. (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17) Pray for the President and Vice President that their hearts would be guided by God, their decisions would be wise and their leadership would be principled.
Also pray for our nation as it suffers under the greed of men. Oil abounds but those that hold the markets are bleeding this nation. I was at a national artist colony this past weekend and the numbers there were tragic. Our nation will pay a heavy price over the next few years. May we learn what God has to say for us.
