CAREFUL IN COUNSEL Scripture: Jeremiah 23:18 For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, And has perceived and heard His word? Who has marked His word and heard it? Jeremiah was a prophet called by the Lord to give His message to the people. Unfortunately, the message from God was not good news. The Lord told the people of their impending destruction and captivity. His words were severe and too hard for them to accept. In contrast to Jeremiah's prophecies, others proclaiming to be prophets told the people not to fear, that they would have peace. Those false prophets used the Lord's name to declare their worthless predictions, and the people chose to believe the false prophets instead of Jeremiah. But these so-called prophets had no relationship or counsel with the Lord God Almighty. They would be held accountable before the Lord for their actions as they blatantly deceived the people. This message applies to us today as well, especially when we speak on behalf of the Lord. We must be sure that our counsel or encouragement to others has been prayerfully taken before the Lord. We must stand in the counsel of the Lord and hear from Him before we offer counsel or advice to anyone else. This message is not only critical to those in ministry roles, but also for any Christian who truly desires to help others. When someone is hurting while going through difficult trials, our human response is to comfort and encourage them. But we also must be in prayer for them and ask the Lord to give us His wisdom in how to help. If we are not standing before the Lord, then our words may give false hopes or assurances that are not of the Lord. Prayer: Lord, give the Spirit of wisdom and counsel to be a blessing to those who would need my advice. Scriptural Reading Jeremiah 23:16-24

Christian counseling is very helpful understanding and patience to penetrate, help restore reconcile back confident and life to an individual. Before even a Christian in need of psychological guidance would be sent to a Priest, but seminary training did not always cover the scope of psychic damage that people can experience. Unfortunately, conventional therapists may lack a healthy respect for the spiritual and religious aspects of a person’s life, and may ignore these things in counseling, which can lead to an unsatisfying experience for the patient. A Christian counselor has both religious and therapeutic training, and has integrated these disciplines to provide a more healing experience for the patient.
