I Will Praise The Lord Who Counsels Me

 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me - Psalm 16:7.  

                 God counsels us with His eye upon us. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you - Psalm 32:8. I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go - Isaiah 48:16. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye - Psalm 32:8. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left - Isaiah 30:21.

                      God gave counsel to Joseph and Joseph did everything according to it. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit - Mathew 1:20. Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him” - Mathew 2:13. Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel” - Mathew 2:19,20.  And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee - Mathew 2:22.

                Let us thank God for His counsel in our life and walk according to it. You will guide me with Your counsel - Psalm 73:24. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way - Psalm 25:9. He will guide us continually. The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail - Psalm 58:11. 

                                                                                   

 PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You and praise You for Your counsels in our life. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
