THANK GOD FOR COUNSEL

Lady of Light

I am thankful for my counselor - I have known her for ten years. She always listens patiently - is very well-versed in medical and psychological matters and relationships as well as being able to help me to continue to be goal oriented no matter what obstacles I face in life.

But, the most important counsel we have is the gift of God's Holy Spirit and the gift of his Word. In Proverbs 15:22, it says:

"Without counsel purposes are disappointed but in the multitude of counselors they are established."

We need to hear from God, not only through his Word, but also from others. My husband and I are blessed because we have two pastors available and close as well as Christian friends, and other pastors and elders. One pastor is new at our church next door and the other leads a neighborhood bible study a half block from our house. He is from Santo Domingo.

Be blessed when you hear God's word, and we also do this on TV with Charles Stanley and Joel Osteen on Sunday mornings and belong to a Christian book club where we can get the benefit of the knowledge and experience of others.

So, ask for God's guidance as to where to turn and who to turn to when you need to share and make decisions in life. God provides many opportunities for us if our eyes, ears and hearts are open.

May God Bless you.

Have a great weekend!

Lady of Light
