The Counsel Of Eternity
If you are in need of some encouragement and uplifting statements concerning God’s plans for you and your future in Him, take a look at this scripture from the Amplified Bible.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end,....
Isn’t this an awesome scripture!
God has planted eternity in our hearts and minds. He has implanted eternity’s sense of purpose in us. And He is the only One Who can satisfy that plan. What a God we serve! He is so focused on making us His successful children. He is doing everything possible to reveal Himself and His Kingdom to us so that we will finally “get it.” God, yes the God Who created this universe and Who created you wants you to be successful and overflowing just like He is. After all, He is your Father. Fathers do like to see their children succeed.
Look at Psalm 73:24.
You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to honor and glory.
Combine this scripture with two other scriptures and you have a total picture of the God we serve.
Proverbs 19:21 KJV There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless, the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
Amplified Bible
Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand.
Isaiah 46:9,10 KJV
Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.
Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit would come to us after He went away. And the Holy Spirit is called our counselor. When we have need of advice, we ought to ask the Holy Spirit first. God’s counsel will always be perfect for us. He is the Wisdom we need. He knows the end from the beginning and how to work it in the middle.
Isn’t it wonderful to know that we have someone to whom we can go when we need direction. He is our direction. He gives us direction. He guides us on the right path. He will never steer us in the wrong direction. If we will heed His voice and follow His leading, we will not go wrong. He is always right. You would think that we would take heed to that fact. God is always right and He is always endeavoring to keep us in the right path, which He has already chosen as the best path for us. His paths will lead us to the places that contribute to the wholeness of our lives and the completion of our assignments, our destinies fulfilled.
And then we can say with the Proverbs 31 woman in verse 25 in the Amplified Bible.
I rejoice over my future, knowing that I am in readiness for it.
Hallelujah! He keeps us ready and prepared. Our future is bright.
