Your Appointment with The Wonderful Counselor
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30

Ponder This
When people come to me for counsel, I can’t solve their problems. So, I try to lead them to the One who can solve their problems, the Lord Jesus Christ. I don’t want them dependent upon me; I want them to know Jesus. He is the Counselor. There is wisdom in His name. He became for us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. (See 1 Corinthians 1:30).
Are you experiencing a problem right now, and don’t know the way out? You don’t know what to do. Every answer seems wrong. I want to recommend my Counselor to you: His name is Jesus.
There is wisdom in His name. He will guide you when you don’t know what to do. He will walk with you when you feel alone. Not only is there wonder and wisdom in His name, but there is worship in that name. All things belong to Him. He made everything. Billions of suns came from His hand when He spoke. Oceans dripped from His fingers. This little planet earth is a speck in the galaxy—just a speck. And yet He made it. If He created all these things, surely His way is better than our way, which has such a limited perspective. We can worship Him, and He will lead us in the way everlasting.
- What is something you need God’s counsel about now?
- How does God’s sovereignty over all things help you trust Him in the hard situations of life?
