God's Counsel

I was reading Psalm 33:10-11 and was reminded again of God's counsel. His counsel is forever, but man's counsel is nothing. The only thing we have going for us is God. God's counsel, His peace, His covenant, His everything. What He purposes will be accomplished.

Quite different from us. We plan things, purpose to do things, and possibly even make promises to do things, but it never happens. The best we can do is keep our mind on God and His peace will be ours. We then can seek God for His purpose, His plan and obey Him then it will be accomplished.

My desire is to have His plans my plans. I really haven't felt very "accomplished" recently, but then on what I base this feeling? Perhaps His plans for me are to simply sit and rest in Him, make that phone call to encourage someone, pray with someone, or just simply love on the grandchildren and know that is a mission field.

Oh yes, it is. Too often we do not see family as a mission field, but truly it is!! It doesn't mean preaching, it means living out life truly in God, leaving an example of a committed, godly life. How many times have we disciplined our children for a wrong, when honestly they have heard that "not so nice" word from our mouth? Children watch and listen.

Today was a fun day at the zoo. The grandchildren had a lot of fun. Just a fun family day. Nate rode the wheel chair with grandma. Smile. So fun.

Have a wonderful Sunday
God bless you
