The Names of God - Counsellor

Counsellor
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Such a counselor is Jesus Christ, who has a guiding mind to think for all, a guiding heart to feel for all, a guiding hand to act for all. His counsel is unchallengeable. As a member of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), Christ who is omniscient (all-knowing) is able to give counsel to His people concerning God’s mind and will.

Lord Jesus, what a comfort to know that you are an all-knowing Counselor. With such assurance, I know I can come to you with my problems with confidence that you will guide me with your counsel. Teach me to lean not on my own understanding but in all my ways acknowledge you so that you will give me success.
