3. He will give you the best counsel and advice, because he is a most wise God; 1wisdom it self can counsel best, Jer. 32. 19. He is great in counsel, and mighty in works, Isa. 28. 29. He is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working, Rom. 11. 33. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! we are many times in straits, in difficulties, and in Jehoshaphats case, we know not what to do; it is not in man that walks to direct his steps: we grope as in the dark, and oft times are dead in our own thoughts, and want wisdom what course to take, and what way to resolve on; but now if you be the people of God, this is your comfort, your God is a wise God, and he can direct and counsel you, Psal. 73. 21. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterwards receive me to glory; ver. 32. 8. I will instruct thee, and teach the in the way which thou shalt go, I will guide thee with mine eyes, Isa. 30. 21. Thine cars shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, James 1. 5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. The wise God can resolve all your doubts, and clear up unto you all your paths, and show you the path of life, and show you all the ways how to find peace and rest for your souls.
