Advent blog – December 8

Wonderful Counsellor, one of the names given in a prediction about the birth of Jesus was given to the people during a time when they lived in fear. They were stressed out about their futures, unsure what to do for the best.

Ever felt that way? Decisions to make and no one to talk through your best course of action? Then you will understand why this name of Jesus given to the people would have come as a great relief. Maybe there just might be someone who had power, insight and the ability to help?

The Bible places a high premium on wise counsel. Wisdom and counsel are important. 

In our society counsellors, lifestyle coaches and mentors are becoming more necessary as the pace and expectations of life become ever more frantic. There is nothing wrong with seeking advice . But the best advice of all comes from Jesus. He understands our struggles, cares about us and is such a wonderful counsellor that He offers what no other counsellor can give. So this Christmas why not investigate further some of the advice Jesus has given others and see if any of those principles could improve the quality of your life in the months to come.
