As human beings, we can share opinions and advice with one another. There are financial advisors, therapists, counselors, life coaches and many other avenues of communication by which we receive information to assist us with various areas of our life. But trends change, opinions are altered, circumstances don't remain static and we grow and change continuously. But let it bring comfort that Psalm 33 expresses some thoughts about God's counsel:
"Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded and it stood fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever., the thoughts of his heart to all generations." Psalm 33:8-11
God's counsel, found in his word and his thoughts are always the same and they stand for all eternity. You can count on this. I will say that you can listen to counselors, spiritual leaders and others but see that what they say lines up with the word of God. Biblical principles are at the root of much help and information that is given today - an application of the knowledge of the Lord and the scriptures can indeed enhance our lives. But you can see that the word of the world or the heathen as it is referred to will be brought to nothing. It is comforting for me to know that the thoughts of his heart go to all generations. So when you experience a generation gap with your children or grandchildren, you can rest assured that the heart of God and his thoughts will still reach them, even in an ever changing world.
In verse 12 it refers to a blessing:
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance." We are still known as "one nation under God" in our pledge of allegiance and we are fortunate and blessed too that we have religious freedom in our country. The counsel of God can be shared and spread. Think on God's counsel and as I do, pray for "heavenly wisdom" to meet the challenges of life.
Have a great day!
God bless you!
