This is Pastor Daniel Stevenson. I'm director of the Southside Life Station and pastor of New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church of East Toledo.

00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:09,700
And you're receiving this message because you opted in to be encouraged.

3
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:14,500
Today's message comes out of Psalms 33 verse 10.

4
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:20,000
The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations. He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,900
Your wisdom, when not received from God, is canceled.

6
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:32,600
Its benefits are made negligible. He will turn plans to tiny grains to slip through your hands for any amount of grasping.

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:39,600
If it's your plan and your wisdom, he will ensure its futility, despite applied human effort.

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:48,800
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.

9
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,400
However, rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft, which includes addictive among its other traits.

10
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,400
How many times do we look at the shreds of our plan and say, that should have worked, right?

11
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,400
But God, the Lord, nullifies the counsel of the nations.

12
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,300
He frustrates the plans of his people when he is left out of them.

13
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:13,400
Choose the way of the Lord today. Salvation is through Jesus Christ, who died on the cross.

14
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,400
Repent, believe in him and serve him for the rest of your days.

15
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:24,400
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.

16
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:33,400
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.

17
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:48,400
I pray you will do well. Be encouraged today, in Jesus name, Amen.
