Isaiah chapter 28, verse 29.

This also comes from the Lord of hosts.

He is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.

What a wonderful promise. God, this comes from him. He is wonderful in counsel and excellent

in wisdom, something we all need. All of us need wisdom. I think about my life. I think about

every fast in my life, in in my just personal life in my family

and my marriage with my kids I think about the work that I I God's call me to do I need

wisdom at every single level I don't I don't need just wisdom for big decisions I need

wisdom all day long like like moment by moment.

And Isaiah 28 promises that God is wonderful in counsel.

Don't you love talking with somebody and they just give great counsel?

And you think, oh, that was so encouraging.

So you go back to that person later and they give great counsel again and great counsel again.

Or you talk to somebody and it's like, wow, that person is so wise.

I'm just so thankful for that person in my life because they just pour wisdom into me that I need to hear.

And so Isaiah 28 is saying, look up to the Lord of hosts. He is wonderful in counsel and

excellent. He's excellent in wisdom. So we pray together then today, God, we look to you as our

counselor. We praise you for even calling your spirit in us the counselor for the not just in big decisions but the

moment by moment counsel you give us by your spirit we praise you for your excellence in wisdom we

praise you for that in your word help us to abide in your word and in that way to abide in your wisdom we We praise you for that in your word. Help us to abide in your word. And in that way to abide in your

wisdom, we pray that you would form our thoughts and our desires by your counsel and your wisdom.
