Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

Jesus is wonderful and He is our counsellor, but He also wants to be our Wonderful Counsellor. The Word of God has given us numerous promises to lead us and guide us, chasten when needed, protect, preserve and keep us safe. We are also promised trials, testings and through much tribulation to enter the kingdom of God. Only God knows what we need to bring us to the place He wants us. Each of us has a personal journey that no one else has. Yes, we can relate to others who are going through various trials, and even commanded to bear one anothers burdens and pray for each other. And know that God gives each of us specific things to overcome, not only so we can glorify God in these areas, but to help others. 2 Cor1:3-4 "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them,which are in any trouble, BY THE COMFORT WHEREWITH WE OURSELVES ARE COMFORTED OF GOD."

When we look around us we see fear, despair, depression, discouragement, hopelessless, wickedness, and desperation.
Why do you think so many people are following after the false prophets, the give to get deception, the social gospel, and giving themselves over to people who have changed the word of God into nothing more than a story book. Something for people long ago, but not now, because things are really bad and we need the help of men! WRONG, we need Jesus Christ and His counsel, and I might say wonderful counsel. Psychology is not the way for people to get truly delivered and free from the oppression they have, only Jesus Christ and His peace. Jesus is the healer and deliver and shepherd of the sheep.

Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever(Hebrews 13:8.) When He said I will never leave you nor forsake you(Hebrews 13:5) he meant just that.

James 1:5-6 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."

The counsel of the Lord will preserve us, protect us, guide us,
instruct us in the ways we should walk. It will give us peace in the storm, while all around seems to be falling apart, Gods counsel will stand. We may feel like we are in the fire, but as the 3 Hebrews experienced, there will be one there with us: Jesus. When all others may forsake us, we can be assured of the one who will never leave us nor forsake us, the one who cared enough for us to leave the splendor of heaven to come here and die on a cross and be raised the third day, just for us.

If you fill your mind with the radio people speaking nothing but fear, then maybe it is time to turn off the radio/TV and get into the Word of God and see the wonderful counsel that our Wonderful Cousellor has promised.

Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee."
