Isaiah the prophet said in Chapter 9, verse 6 that among other things, our Lord would be called Mighty Counselor.
“For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”
Before His birth, He was announced to be our Counselor. Not just a counselor, but some versions call Him a mighty counselor. The NASB (above quoted) calls Him a Wonderful Counselor.
Do you know He longs for us to ask Him something? He tells us, “Come, let’s reason together”. He has, because He is, the answer to every question. He has always known us. Before we were born, He knew us.
He calls us. Have you ever known that kind of earthly love that when “he” whispers in your ear, the shiver courses through you? That is a natural response to an earthly connection. Unforgettable, to be sure. But also changeable with the passing of time or the passing of a moment.
But not our Counselor. He longs for us to come and be taught. To come and be led (guided, directed). He desires to whisper His love. How do I know that? His Word. Ephesians 3, where the Holy Spirit inspired Paul to pray that we will KNOW the love of Christ, our counselor.
The Holy Spirit said “know” as to experience. To know beyond human understanding, what is the length of His love, what is the depth of His love, what is the expanse in every way, in every direction of our life, Jesus’ love.
And what is our promise when we do? That we will be filled with all (let me say that again: ALL) the fulness of God. (Go look. It really says that)
When He whispers, answer. When He prompts you with a longing to hear, follow the invitation.
He said to all who thirst (who want more, who are not satisfied)…”come”.
Let’s look at Revelation 22:17…
And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
What is the Wonderful, Mighty Counselor’s whisper to His daughters?
“Come”. He wants us to come away, to desire Him-to separate ourselves for a time, for a while, for intimacy with Him. God came to earth, so we could be redeemed, made righteous in Christ, so we could be restored to the relationship God had planned and sin had stolen. Now, in Jesus
Love says “Come”.
Are you longing for that whispered moment? He’s ready. Right now. He bids us.
“Come”
For His Glory
