Plans succeed through good counsel; don't go
to war without wise advice. Proverbs 20:18
The best counsel is with God…as David wrote…In times of trouble, may the LORD answer
your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May He
send you help from His sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. May He
remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. May He
grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:1-4.
I love that…that God would give me the
desires of my heart. Wherever your
treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Matthew 6:21.
My heart’s desire is just to please the
Lord. LORD, we show our trust in you by
obeying your laws; our heart's desire is to glorify your name. Isaiah 26:8.
His plans are my goals in life. No war—although daily trials can be interpreted
as combat or warfare—spiritual warfare—for some people. It takes good advice to
make it through some conflicts. Seek some good advice from wise people who know
God. So don't go to war without wise
guidance; victory depends on having many advisers. Proverbs 24:6. What are
your heart’s desires? Who are your counselors?
Prayer
~ Dear God, give me friends and Christian advisers that help guide me through the
spiritual warfare that confronts us all. Give each of us wisdom that we would
follow Your plans for our lives. We want to live to please You.
