‘He will be called ‘mighty Counsellor. Isaiah 9:6
All through our lives we need counsellors, someone or a company to advise us, whether in our personal lives or in our business lives. These people will be specialists in their own sphere but not of much help on other matters.
Our Wonderful Counsellor is proficient in everything, reliable and without fault, as we read in Isaiah 9. He loves us and also cares for us. Jesus didn’t come to this earth to make us feel better about ourselves, but to make us better citizens fit for the kingdom of God. On occasions we will be let down by these people whose job it is to help us. What we all need is someone to help or guide us always.
we won’t always like His counsel, it will sometimes be demanding but it will point us in the right direction. We need His counselling and so does the world. Wars could be over, poverty eliminated and the sick receive compassion, if people would only listen to His voice. Wisdom was the one thing King Solomon asked for. He knew that God was the Wonderful Counsellor. The voice of wisdom was the thing that the early disciples desperately needed as they told the world about Jesus.
