Ponder This
Do you need a counselor sometimes? People come to pastors and counselors for wisdom. We can counsel from Scripture, but we can’t solve their problems.
We can try to lead them to the One who can solve their problems, the Lord Jesus Christ. But I don’t want them dependent upon me. I want them to know Jesus. He is the Counselor.
There is wisdom in His name. The Bible says, “But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Practice This
Are you going through a problem right now where you 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. Call upon the true Counselor. His name is Jesus. Not only is there wonder in His name. Friend, there is wisdom in His name.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
