Ephesians 1:
15
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;  17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,


DAY 8—Rejection of  Wrong Counsel

 

Sometimes people of the world give counsel that may sound right. But we who belong to the Kingdom of Christ must learn to keep our souls free from any ungodly counsel. There is a blessing pronounced on those who do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. See the following.

Psalms 1:1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Romans 16:18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

 

FATHER, give me insight and understanding in my dealings with the world. I want to remain simple, but not when it comes to discerning wrong counsel. Release Your godly wisdom in me that I might withstand the deception that is out there. Do this also in these loved ones I hold before Your Throne today.
