Counselinstruction
Counsel for Living #2— May we each be attuned to hearing the voice of wisdom and counsel for our respective places of responsibility. May the Lord provide that we shall receive skillful instruction that will stand us good in days to come and may we be willing to receive correction in areas in which we are remiss. May the Lord’s purpose for you prevail above all opposition.

“Hear counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction, that you may be wise in the time to come. Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand.” (Prov.19:20-21, Amp) 


 


Taking Good Counsel

New Year 2014We are all likely to be making plans and setting goals for 2014 and beyond. Our basic plan (that promises to be good throughout the whole year) might should be to take good counsel and accept correction— that’s the way to live wisely and well. We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God’s purpose prevails. 

“Take good counsel and accept correction— that’s the way to live wisely and well.  21  We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God’s purpose prevails.” (Prov.19:20-21, Msg)
