Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor…"
This past weekend, many of us laughed out loud as we watched Dr. Phil attempt to counsel Madea. At the end of the scene in “Madea Goes to Jail,” it was clear that Dr. Phil had not gotten through to Perry’s character and somebody was going to “get got”!
If you know anything about Mable “Madea” Simmons, you know nobody can handle her issues but Jesus.
Today, beloved, that might be a Word for you: Only Jesus can handle your issues.
While Madea’s therapy session was ordered by the court, so many of us voluntarily seek counsel from friends, mentors, loved ones and professional therapists. All of those individuals are invaluable when it comes to helping us make some decisions; however, sometimes there are things that only our Wonderful Counselor can help us resolve or solve.
Maury helping you locate your baby daddy won’t fix it, Oprah cannot write a check for it, and Dr. Phil does not have a cute catchphrase for you to consider. In the words of the old choir song, “Jesus can work it out, if you let Him.”
Today, ask God to order your steps and your stops. Ask Him for Wisdom. Ask Him to show you the way that you should take. Ask Him who should be in the inner courts of your life and who should be out on the porch. Ask Him, what to say. Ask Him to operate as the Prince of Peace when you feel like someone in your world is about to “get got” (or cut)! Ask Him, and he will prove Himself as a Wonderful Counselor!
Continue to walk in your blessings and pass this inspiration along to someone who is always asking you for your opinion!
