“My Counsellor”
Sunday, January 26, 2025Key Verse
“Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.” Psalm 119:24
Text —Psalm 119:22-24
Message
A president or a ruler of a single country often has up to twenty or more advisers or counsellors. All these people are experts in their various fields of knowledge. They advise or tell the leader what to do in a particular area in order to lead the people in peace and prosperity. Any leader that rejects the pieces of advice from his
appointed counsellors will regret his action. Yet, one thing is that their counsels are of limited value, since the advisers or counsellors, being human, have limited knowledge and do not know the future.
But there is a great Counsellor Who always advises aright. It is God’s word. God knows the end from the beginning. We can follow His word without any fear of making a mistake. Christians who do not enjoy reading, thinking on and obeying the word of God cannot live a victorious life free from mistakes and sin. The word of God must counsel or instruct you on what to think, say, do and where to go and who to make friend with in a godly way. Take counsel daily in God’s word as you read your Bible, study and obey its sacred pieces of advice.
