Seek The Counsel Of God Not Men

“In my distress I called upon the Lord,
and cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from his temple,
and my cry came before him, even to his ears.”
Psalm 18:6
When in distress, many run to friends to counsel and comfort them, or to alcohol and drugs which only make the situation worse. No. Let us run to the Lord, our creator who knows the number of hairs on our head, who authored each one’s DNA, who was there at birth and even before, who kept us and protected us even in the days before we came to know him.
The Lord alone is able to make things right in our lives. His counsel will not be the counsel we get from friends, his counsel will be unique to our situation and will come from the wisdom of his own heart. It will be the wisdom from heaven, not the wisdom of the world. In your dilemma turn to him!
vs 16,17
“He sent from above, he took me,
He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
from those who hated me,
for they were too strong for me.”
Take your cares to him, for he is worthy. And …he cares.
“…casting all your care upon him, for HE CARES for you.”
1st Peter 5:7
