Proverbs 19:20-21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.” (Proverbs 19:20, 21 NKJV)

We should realize that our life is a day to day journey to a destiny. Each day we take our step, leads us to our future. Hence, we must keep our ears open to the counsel of the One who knows and can lead us the way. So that as we progress in this journey and life, we become wiser to not depend on our whims and own wisdom. We may have many plans, but unless we surrender it to the Lord, it takes us nowhere. We'd end up in a place other than where God wants us to be. And the reality is, there are only two destinations – to be in heaven with Jesus or to be in hell with the devil. The counsel of the One who knows the way is what will stand to take us to where God wants us to be. That is to be with our Lord Jesus Christ in the everlasting life. He said: "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:3 ESV)

Yes, we are on a journey to the ‘Promise Land’ in the presence of our Heavenly Father that we can only take one step at a time, day by day, in no other way except through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is written, when Thomas one of the disciples said to Jesus “Lord we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:5-6 NIV)

We have to establish our faith firmly in Christ Jesus. He is the only way to our Heavenly Father. In our daily walk, we depend on the counsel of the Holy Spirit and His Words. With all that's available to us in this life, we hold on to His Words. These are what remain with us forever. Lord Jesus said: "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” (Luke 21:33 ASV)

And I say, AMEN!
