This is Pastor Daniel Stevenson. I'm director of the Southside Life Station and pastor of New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church of East Toledo.
And you're receiving this message because you opted in to be encouraged.
Today's message comes out of Psalms 33 verse 10.
The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations. He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
Your wisdom, when not received from God, is canceled.
Its benefits are made negligible. He will turn plans to tiny grains to slip through your hands for any amount of grasping.
If it's your plan and your wisdom, he will ensure its futility, despite applied human effort.
He loves us too much to let us go our own way without frustrating our human supposed originality enough to have us looking for his way.
However, rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft, which includes addictive among its other traits.
How many times do we look at the shreds of our plan and say, that should have worked, right?
But God, the Lord, nullifies the counsel of the nations.
He frustrates the plans of his people when he is left out of them.
Choose the way of the Lord today. Salvation is through Jesus Christ, who died on the cross.
Repent, believe in him and serve him for the rest of your days.
Just say, God, I give you the rest of my days to do with as you please and let that be a true statement and you will be saved.
Then make your plans in line with what the Lord teaches you, who the Lord makes you out to be, and you will do well.
I pray you will do well. Be encouraged today, in Jesus name, Amen.
