Will We Accept God's Counsel and Help During Trouble?

 A crisis, without fail, presents opportunities to elevate Jesus Christ to a place of prominence in your life. Isaiah was written when disaster loomed on the horizon for God’s people. Yet Isaiah promised, “A king is coming who will reign with righteousness and justice. He will refresh his people like a river in the desert, like the cooling shadow of a mighty rock in a hot and weary land.”

Whatever you’re experiencing, no trouble is beyond God’s help. Isaiah referred to Jesus as Wonderful Counselor who guides you to a light no darkness can consume. May your heart be filled with joy as you celebrate the birth of Jesus. Merry Christmas and God bless you!

For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder. These will be his royal titles: ... “Counselor,” …

~Isaiah 9:6 The Living Bible

The royal line of David is like a tree that has been cut down; but just as new branches spout from a stump, so a new king will arise from David’s descendants. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, and might.

~Isaiah 11:1-2 Good News Bible/The Living Bible

I will send you the Spirit who comes from the Father and shows what is true. The Spirit will help you and tell you about me.

~John 15:26 Contemporary English Version
