He maketh the vices of the people of none effect.
The counsel of the Lord standeth forever.
The counsel of the heathen is going to come to naught.
The counsel of the Lord standeth forever.
And what is the counsel of the Lord?
It's the word of God.
This isn't just any ordinary book.
We have the very counsel of the word of God.
God's counsel is an enduring counsel.
It's the only enduring counsel.
Grass withereth, the flower fadeth,
the word of our God shall stand forever.
We have a more sure word of prophecy
where until you do well that you take heed
as unto a light that shineth in a dark place.
If we have this counsel in the word of God,
this light that's shining unto us in a dark place,
are you availing yourself of that counsel?
Are you putting that to work in your life?
Or is the Bible day in and day out being just left unread, ignored?
What you're doing is you're shelving the counsel of God,
this counsel that is going to stand forever.
Only this word is going to stand.
Why would we ignore it?
Why would we not be in this book?
Why would we not be reading it?
Because we don't fear God.
