Text: “There are many devices in a man’s heart;
nevertheless the counsels of the LORD that shall stand.” Proverbs 19:21
We all have plans, dreams and desires that we love to see come to
pass in our lives. There is not wrong with all these. But at the same time we
must be sure that whatever we desire plan, dream about and desire is in perfect
harmony with God’s ultimate counsels for our lives.
The ultimate plan of God is to get us to the point where we are so
close to him that we know exactly what his counsels are for our lives. Some of
us are so close to our parents, spouse or even friends that we know exactly
what they want and what they don’t want. Most of the time when we pursue things
that are not within the confines of God’s counsels for our lives we begin to struggle
to make things happen by ourselves. God’s counsels are already blessed and
empowered to happen.
“...Nevertheless the
counsels of the Lord that shall stand “means the following:
1. It is God’s counsels
that has guarantee for a future.
2. It is God’s counsels
that will endure and stand the test of time.
3. It is God’s counsels
that will bring the highest fulfillment into our lives.
We may succeed in pursuing the devices of our hearts and get them
but they will still leave us with a sense of emptiness within. God knows what
is best for you in life. He knows the end of your life from the beginning. He
has the master plan for our lives and should be the best person to channel the
course of our lives in the right direction.
God’s counsels may not be popular but that is where you future
lies. God’s counsels are the things that God programmed and prepared for you
before time.
CONFESSION:
Lord I embrace your counsels for my life. I declare that your
counsels are greater than all my plans.
