The Best Counsel

Lady of Light

In Ephesians 1:6-11, the Apostle Paul tells us the following as he writes to the church at Ephesus:

"Wherein he (Christ) hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory who first trusted Christ."

It is a great comfort to know that Christ has been toward us, giving us wisdom and prudence and giving us knowledge and the purpose of gathering us together both on earth and in heaven. This is really great news - we live in a world where there are many divisions and here it speaks of oneness and fullness of times. To know that all things work out according to the counsel of his will, is the best counsel we can receive - to learn and understand the Lord's divine purposes. As I meditate on these verses it sets me in such a good direction - and praising and trusting Christ, I believe, is the way to keep going in that direction.

May God bless you and have a great day!!
