Fri's. Devo - God's Counsel

Read Pro. 19:20-21
We can come up with the best ideas and the best counsel but if it is not God's ideas or God's counsel then it is not the best. God created us and has planned out the future for us in very detailed form. All our "great ideas" cannot compare to his infinite wisdom and plan. He says that our eyes have not seen nor our ears heard nor has it even entered into our hearts all that he has planned for us. His imagination goes much further than ours. And what is better is that he has arranged how to pay for it and who is to help us and what the end result will be. Jesus was born into a world full of injustices and political unrest but he came preaching the kingdom of God which is not of this world. There is a way we can live in the kingdom of God and still live in this world. There is a way we can prosper when the world is falling apart economically. There is a way we can raise Godly children when the masses are bent toward sin. There is a way we can have a great marriage when the divorce rate is appalling. There is a way.... it is called the Kingdom of God.
We are to seek him first and all these things will be added unto us. In the end it is God's counsel that will stand anyway so why not take it now and have joy and peace and prosperity. Lord, help us to live in your kingdom.
