Why You Need This Wonderful Counselor

Daily Devotional – Tuesday, November 14, 2023
I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel. My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
Psalms 16:7 (NKJV)

We all need counsel at some point or another. Indeed, some people require more specialized advice and have to visit professional therapists. These specialists are trained in human psychology and can help counselees deal with stress, addictions, personal and family challenges, and so on.

The Lord Counsels Me

Human counselors, however, have their limitations. They cannot understand our problems fully. Therefore, the solutions they offer do not help us overcome our challenges fully. There is therefore a need for a counselor who understands us fully and can offer long-lasting solutions.

David knows exactly who this counselor is. The psalmist says, “I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel. My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.” (Psalms 16:7). David rejoices and thanks God because of the guidance that the Almighty gives Him. Who is better placed to advise a human being than the omniscient God?

Why You Need This Wonderful Counselor

The Lord understands you better than any human counselor. He knows your thoughts and motives. God is ready to listen to you at any time. Like David, you can allow Him to speak to you through your subconscious mind as you rest at night. The Spirit of God dwelling in you will ward off evil thoughts and fill you with thoughts of peace and productivity.

In a world full of ceaseless cares, problems, and stress, you need this Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6-7) because He has real solutions. Thankfully, this therapist is always available and affordable. All you have to do is pour your heart out to Him. Because He knows the solutions to your problems, you will never leave His presence with disappointment. Will you open your heart to Him today?

Prayer
Wonderful Counselor, guide me in the way I should go and fill my heart with Your peace.
